Alps Adventure: Philippe Collet, your Private Mountain Guide in Chamonix

The single relation between a mountain guide and its client is what we’re speaking about here. It is  at the origin of Mountain Guide’s history . During centuries people have dreamt about summiting high mountains, and they’ve been trusting their guides to make their dreams come true.
This unique and friendly relation that you can build amongst rock climbing , ice climbing or off piste is over any word…

I'm with you to help you to reach the summit and to be sure that you'll success in great holidays.... !.Of course this means that , sometimes, i will have to take harsh safety decisions. But this is a small price for serenity.
 


Few words about me :

In the mid-nineties i came to Chamonix, and i'm still in the valley which , by time, has became my basecamp. Over the last 20 years  i've skied  and climbed all around the world from Alaska to Nepal thru Norway or Jordan. I think I gained a bit of mountain experience...well enough in fact to become instructor to the Ski and Alpinism National School (aka ENSA). I still looking to  guide my people to some nice areas, i hate queues and crowds!! Beyond  guiding i love to open the doors of my secret garden: the Mont Blanc...
