Please note that different climbs have different maximum climber-to-guide ratios. More difficult routes are typically climbed at a maximum ratio of one-to-one. Easier climbs can often be done with higher ratios. See the "Maximum Ratio" information on the page that describes that particular climb.

Normally we do not pair up climbers who do not already know each other. The 2:1 or 3:1 ratio is for a group of friends (or spouses, of course) who wish to sign up for a trip together.

In addition to the above fees, when we drive our cars, we charge mileage, road, tunnel and parking tolls for trips outside the Chamonix Valley. The mileage rate is 0.30 € per kilometer.

The above fees include expenses for the guide, such as meals, lodging, lifts, hut fees, transport (except mileage and tolls). They do not include these expenses for the climber.

Fees are on a per day basis. Prices are in US $.

*Some programs of a set length that climb several peaks have an established fee for the entire program. See the fees quoted on their corresponding web pages.
