Guiding ratios.
In a few cases the maximum number of clients to a guide is set by the local guides, such as on the Matterhorn
(1:1), or Mont Blanc 1:2. In all other cases it is up to the guide to make a decision based on the ability of the clients and prevailing conditions on the mountain. Generally the more technical or exposed the ascent is, the smaller the ratio must be.

Price:- These programmes and other private guiding are offered, starting at £225 per day + expenses.

Expenses will vary with the itinerary chosen.
