CUSTOM TRIP OPTIONS & DAILY RATES
Like a menu our prices include a complete list of services. The main entrée is the guiding whether skiing, climbing or trekking. The a la carte services include the hotels, meals, transfers, lift tickets. While some trips are a fixed menu while others can be served like dim sung, dish by dish. When planning your trip, consider what services you feel are important and let us know. Some trips due to the remote and complex logistics are an all or nothing package, others can be adjusted for the independent minded traveler. Rates are subject to change so please check with us to confirm the current pricing.
You will first need to contact us regarding the activity that you are interested in. We have a maximum climber/skier to guide of 4:1. To price your private trip you need to determine how many days it will be and how many people will join you. These two factors will determine the per person cost, which is quoted below. Please do not make payments until you have contacted us and confirmed that:
- We can accommodate you on our schedule, and
- We have agreed that the trip you are signing up for is a good match with your skills. This concern is especially important with the ski trips.
