| Saas Fee : climbing seminar |
|
| |
|
The Saas Fee valley runs parallel to the Zermatt valley. It offers a lot of exciting climbs in a very charming environment.
In that area we propose an itinerary conceived for beginner climbers having followed some previous technical courses and looking for great terrain for practising and developing new skills. In that perspective we have kept the doors open for our guide to adapt your program to your special interests and expectations with either more rock climbing or more ice climbing itineraries.
This trip is a good preparation for a Matterhorn climb.
