The second annual Arc’teryx Alpine Academy will take place in Chamonix on the 14th – 16th June – led by experienced mountain guides and Arc’teryx athletes.

The three day alpine academy is open to all and will cover an array of high mountain skills, from overnight bivvies to crevasse rescue, as well as seminars and cultural events.  Seminars will discuss alpinism topics including the impact of climate change to the mountains and high mountain medicine.

Participants will have the opportunity to test gear from Arc’teryx, Gore Tex, Scarpa, Petzl, Suunto and Primus.

Tickets for the events are sold on an individual basis and start from €35 – see the event schedule for more information on each of the clinics.
