ADVENTURE SKI. Jagged Globe has been organising ‘adventure ski’ trips since the early 1990s. To date, we have skied on all continents and in 24 different countries. The aim of our adventure ski programme is to mix the culture and adventure of travelling, often in regions with very little tourist infrastructure, with ski touring away from the lifts. Each year our programme normally includes shorter trips closer to home, tours in Japan and some major expeditions. By their very nature, our adventure ski trips will attract those who value uncertainty and adventure over guaranteed summits and snow. Please visit our website for detailed itineraries, trip grading and booking.

47 CLIMB Jagged Globe CLIMB can take you on expeditions to the Seven Summits, to rarely attempted 8,000m peaks and to hidden corners of Nepal. We provide training in the UK and European Alps, providing you with the skills to go higher, climb harder and explore further. Since 1987, Jagged Globe has been synonymous with innovate, high altitude expeditions to the world’s greatest mountains. TREK Jagged Globe TREK includes some of the most famous in the world, as well as rugged treks, which uncover the seldom-visited valleys and recesses of the Greater Himalaya. As altitude experts, we treat the mountains with respect honed by decades of experience. You will find that our versions of even the popular treks are longer, or follow quieter routes. SKI Jagged Globe SKI offers a range of adventurous ski trips, including ski mountaineering expeditions to exotic locations all over the world, ski tours in the Alps and introductory off-piste courses in the best resorts. Whether in New Zealand, Armenia, Chamonix or Tignes, you will improve your skills and technique with Jagged Globe guides and instructors.
