Thin Air Adventures Ltd

We specialise in Alpine Adventures for students between the ages of 12 and 18. Based in Chamonix, France in the heart of the French Alpine region, we explore the wonderful and majestic mountain environmet around Mont Blanc. Our trips will teach the students how to climb on rock on local crags as well as on ice. We introduce students to walking and climbing on ice on some of the largest glaciers in Western Europe. Having acquired these skills, the group will then go on a three day trek across several glaciers in the area staying in a series of alpine huts. Groups of students with previous experience will be taken on more challenging expeditions and may climb some local peaks above 3,000m. All our guides are qualfied to a very high standard and are used to dealing with students. We follow the ALAA code of practice and proceedures.
