Mountaineering carries inherent risks, including serious injury or death. All Monte Rosa guides are IFMGA certified and are committed to minimizing these risks. However, it is important to understand that the risk cannot be completely eliminated, and this is something you acknowledge when signing a booking contract with us.
The guides will assist you in achieving your objectives and ensuring an enjoyable experience. Trusting their judgment and accepting their decisions is crucial. Being well-prepared and physically fit is essential to ensuring safety during ascents.
If the guide deems you unready for the booked ascent, they will suggest an appropriate alternative. In the event of unforeseen bad weather that makes the ascent dangerous, the guide will propose an agreed alternative climb.
