The inaugural Alpine ARC'ademy event in Chamonix happened over 3 days at the start of June.
The unique mountaineering educational weekender took place up at the Aiguille du Midi, here in Chamonix. The event was presented as a weekend of mountaineering education, experience and inspiration for beginners and skilled mountaineers but proved to be just as much a celebration of mountaineering.

Mountaineers from Switzerland, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Germany and Scandinavia took part in a variety of workshops designed to introduce and hone mountain skills.
This video gives you a glimpse of what it was like for the guides and participants over a weekend of changeable conditions.
