What climbers say

★★★★★

“Small group, honest briefing about the weather, and a guide who turned us around at the right moment on day two. Summit on day three instead. Perfectly handled.”
Marta R. · Barcelona · Gran Paradiso Traverse

★★★★★

“Eight days meant we all made Uhuru without feeling wrecked. The Moshi team were outstanding — porters, food, pacing, everything.”
Tom H. · Manchester · Kilimanjaro – Machame Route

★★★★★

“Huts booked, luggage sorted, and a guide who knew every tower by name. I only had to walk and eat.”
Anja K. · Hamburg · Alta Via 1 Dolomites

★★★★★

“One guide, one climber, no rush. Called the office two weeks before and spoke to the guide who took me up.”
Luca P. · Milan · Matterhorn Hörnli Ridge

Good to know

Do I need mountaineering experience?+

For easy and moderate routes, no — good fitness is enough. Hard routes assume you are comfortable with crampons, a rope and long days; if you are unsure, call the guide office listed on the route.

Who actually leads the trip?+

Each route is run by the local guide office shown on its page, with its real phone number and website. You can call them directly before you book.

What does the price include?+

Every route page lists what is included and what is not — usually the guide, huts or camps and technical gear; travel and insurance are on you.

Can I book a private date or a private guide?+

Yes. Send a message from the route page or the contact page with your dates and group size.
