These small-group winter courses are led by highly experienced guides from the company founded by mountaineer and adventurer Allie Pepper. Held in the high country of Kosciuszko National Park, they’re a great way to gain backcountry experience or train for that overseas mountain climb you’ve been dreaming about.
With your instructor from Allie Pepper Adventures, snowshoe past snow gums into winter wilderness and learn how to set up a snow camp. Wake up in your tent to a glittering white world of snow and get ready for an exciting new day of alpine adventure. At Blue Lake, Australia's mountaineering training ground, you’ll learn mountaineering and backcountry survival. Spend your days climbing steep snow gullies, swinging ice axes and kicking crampons into waterfall ice.
