ASCEND, EXPLORE AND DISCOVER THE WORLD’S GREAT MOUNTAIN REGIONS AND DIVERSE CULTURES WITH ASPEN EXPEDITIONS

As a premier climbing school and guide service, based in the heart of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, Aspen Expeditions is in the unique position to offer the aspiring mountain trekker, rock and alpine climber and backcountry ski enthusiast an enviable backyard of terrain on which to learn new skills, hone those rusty skills or get in a day or two of fitness training.

One of the grand advantages of learning and training through a professional guide service is that we will enable you to adapt the unique instructional and guiding techniques acquired in Aspen, Colorado and apply these same skills to an international adventure trekking, climbing or skiing vacation. Our Next Step Philosophy gives you the opportunity to progress (at your own pace) from learning rope and rock skills to climbing a Colorado 14er to high altitude trekking in Nepal, climbing to the top of Kilimanjaro or skiing the Haute Route in the European Alps. Over the years, we have seen tried and true results in this progressive “building block” approach to safe and enjoyable travel through the mountains. And, this all begins with sound instruction, advice from experience and attention to the details. Whether your goal is to ASCEND high mountains - EXPLORE cultures worldwide - or DISCOVER new mountain experiences, Aspen Expeditions is your point of departure.

We are happy to offer you a wide variety of worldwide adventure trips for most levels of fitness, ability and ambition and to suit various work and vacation schedules. From the past thirty years of domestic and international teaching, guiding and travel, we are one of the few companies able to put together a diverse program of proven international trips. Over the years we have taken clients to some of the most exciting mountain destinations available today. The areas we visit represent the key mountain destinations and greater ranges of the globe: Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the Alps of France and Switzerland; the Cordillera Real of Bolivia and, of course, the Himalaya ranges in Nepal, Tibet, India & Bhutan.
