For nearly two decades, Alpenglow Expeditions has provided the highest caliber of mountaineering, trekking, climbing and skiing expeditions while creating new and innovative ways to approach the mountains. Providing opportunities to climb mountains from California's High Sierra to Kilimanjaro to Everest, Alpenglow Expeditions offers a wide range of climbs for every level of aspiring mountaineer. The exhilaration and excitement of summiting a great peak is something all mountaineers strive for; climb Kilimanjaro, or trek across the great mountain ranges of Bolivia & Nepal to learn for yourself. Every Alpenglow expedition is focused on a small group with guide to client ratios that allow for the teaching of mountaineering skills, safety and education in the big mountains. All Alpenglow expeditions and climbs are led by AMGA/IFMGA certified guides. The AMGA/IFMGA certification is an internationally recognized mountaineering certification that is considered the highest credential attainable by a mountain guide. Alpenglow Expeditions is the first major guide service in the US to require this certification from our lead guides. When you reserve an Alpenglow expedition, you are not just tagging a summit and heading home; we have spent over a decade in each of the locations we offer expeditions. Our logistics for travel are at the highest level in the guiding industry. Whether you are refueling with delicious food at basecamp or visiting locals in the family-run hotel in town, you will notice the difference in our friendly and knowledgeable local support staff. Alpenglow Expeditions provides more than your average mountaineering experience. Our AMGA Certified Mountain Guides, amazing local logistics, and desire to maximize your educational experience with big mountains all combine to guarantee your optimal learning, fun, safety and success.
