Practicing mountaineering involves risks, including serious or fatal injuries. All Monte Rosa guides are UIAGM certified and are committed to minimizing dangers. It is important to understand that risks cannot be completely eliminated, and this is an aspect you confirm to have accepted by signing a booking contract for an ascent with us.
The guides will assist you in reaching your goals and ensuring you have an enjoyable experience. Trusting their judgment and accepting the decisions they make is essential. Being well-prepared and in good physical shape is crucial to ensure safety during ascents.
If the guide determines that you are not ready for the booked ascent, they will suggest an appropriate alternative. In the event of unexpected bad weather that makes the ascent dangerous, the guide will propose an agreed-upon alternative climb.
