Why travel with us?

A TEAM OF HIGH-ALTITUDE SPECIALISTS – SUMMER AND WINTER

At Montagne Expédition, our teams are composed exclusively of IFMGA-certified mountain guides (UIAGM), most of whom are graduates of the National School of Skiing and Alpinism (ENSA) based in Chamonix.

As passionate mountaineers and skiers ourselves, we are driven by the desire to share our love for the mountains with travelers from all horizons. We spend a significant amount of time in the field to continuously refine our technical skills and our deep understanding of the alpine environment.

Our guides are hand-picked and highly vetted. They are all fully qualified to lead in high-mountain terrain, whether for ski touring, ice climbing, mountaineering, or rock climbing. They know the mountains inside and out, and their mission is to share their passion with you through clear instruction and a focus on safety.

Beyond the technical expertise required for their profession, all our guides undergo specific training in first aid and mountain safety protocols.

OUR COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBLE MOUNTAIN PRACTICES

Since its inception, Montagne Expé has integrated a responsible approach into all its mountain exploration activities. Respect for the massifs our travelers cross is the guiding principle of all our journeys. The impact of our activity—which is amplified in the fragile environments of the high mountains—is at the heart of our concerns. We work hand-in-hand with institutions, our partners, and local guides to minimize our negative footprint while maximizing the positive impacts of our operations.

Our goal is not to be the best in the world, but to be the best for the world. To further strengthen our commitment, we have chosen to formalize our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) strategy by becoming a mission-driven company (entreprise à mission) and pursuing B Corp certification.

This translates into responsible commitments across every aspect of our trips (waste management, participant transport, choice of accommodation, working conditions for our teams, etc.) and through our clients' commitment to respecting the FFME Mountain Charter as well as the Montagne Expé Practitioner’s Charter.

High Mountain Practitioner’s Charter

High-mountain natural areas are the heart of our activities. We are committed to their preservation in the territories where we operate and strive to minimize our resource consumption, both during our trips and within our offices. This involves promoting responsible travel practices, as well as developing and implementing solutions to reduce carbon emissions or offset them by funding carbon reduction and sequestration projects.

Every client is invited to respect the natural environments we encounter and avoid disturbing local flora and fauna:

• Stay on marked trails and refrain from collecting plants or rocks.
  
• Leave no trace of your passage.
  
• Respect wildlife by maintaining a safe distance during sightings and never feeding animals.
  

• We select partners (hotels, restaurants, guides, etc.) who are conscious of environmental issues.
  
• At Montagne Expé, we prioritize meals made from locally sourced ingredients.
  

• Every traveler is asked to take home any consumables that cannot be recycled locally (such as batteries).
  
• We encourage guests to limit and sort waste whenever possible and strive for a "zero-plastic" journey.
  
• We make every effort to leave no trace of our visit.
  

• We promote trips that favor slow mobility (hiking, cycling, kayaking) and eco-mobility (public transport, carpooling).
  
• We offer a selection of trips that are accessible via ground transportation (train, bus, etc.).
  
• We encourage renting or borrowing technical gear rather than purchasing new equipment.
