Sure, they'd climbed the big mountains and had all the experience that comes with that but it takes more than know how to motivate people to do something that they feel is almost completely beyond them. It was their passion, enthusiasm and absolute commitment to not just getting me and my mates to the top of the mountain but to making sure that we really enjoyed the journey. And we did. It was the most fun I'd had in years Guy Nixon, CEO, Go Native Ltd., Mont Blanc 2004

The Matterhorn requires experience; Mt Blanc stamina; Grand Paradiso a sense of adventure and fun. At 4018m, Grand Paradiso is both a challenge and an achievement; all 4000m peaks require fitness, mental toughness and determination; however the joy of this mountain is it allows people who are not mountaineers to have a real mountaineering experience.



Is this for you? Ask yourself, do you want a significant mountain challenge? One where you will need to work on your fitness beforehand; spend two days on the mountain; sleep in a refuge; move up the mountain with crampons on your feet and ice axe in your hand; experience moments of exhaustion and exhilaration. Is this for you?
