Eiger


From £3,350
Altitude 3,970m Grade: Intermediate
6 Mountain Days Guide Ratio: 1:2 then 1:1 on the Eiger

The Mittellegi Ridge is a fantastic steep knife edged ridge offering excellent climbing with little or no objective danger.

The Eiger, like the Matterhorn, is an iconic peak. The aim of this course is ideally to traverse the mountain via two ridges with an ascent of the Mittellegi Ridge and the descent via the South Ridge to the Monchsjoch Hut to complete a classic traverse of the mountain. However if conditions are snowy we may opt to climb the South Ridge instead.

We are based in Grindelwald for the course. The start of the week is spent acclimatising on classic 4000m peaks in the Bernese Oberland such as the Gros Grünhorn and Finsteraarhorn.

Previous Experience

This course is suitable for those with previous Alpine mountaineering experience. If you don't have Alpine experience we recommend one of our Alpine Introduction courses. We can also arrange rock climbing courses in the Lake District to develop your skills ahead of this course.

  • Repatriation
  • The altitude that you are expected to attain
  • The location especially when travelling to Antarctica
  • Grade of trek/climb/expedition
  • Medical cover

Adventure Peaks partners with Global Rescue to offer the world’s leading travel protection services. Medical and security emergencies happen. When they do, we rely on Global Rescue to provide our clients with medical, security, travel risk and crisis response services. Without a membership, an emergency evacuation could cost over $100,000.

I chose Adventure Peaks as i liked your brochure, dealing with staff and discounts in the shop.

Your guide was excellent. He had to change the proposed itinerary due to weather. He was also accomplished at changing the routes on the Matterhorn and Eiger due to the conditions. I felt safe and confident with his decision making. I would not hesitate in going with you again.

Thanks again to Boris and Adventure Peaks.
