Some training and preparation leading up to putting your new found survival skills into practice. Hiking, camping, shelter building, navigation, foraging, catch and cooking. Educational. Guided.

Two magical days heli snowshoeing with a night snow camping all up in the high alpine zone. The snow camp will be one of our traditional heavyweight canvas tented camps complete with stretcher beds, mattresses, wood fired heaters, camp ovens and so on.

Hut with shared facilities or a self contained hut. Perfect for couples!

Travelling alone? Shared bunk hut, hut for yourself or a self contained hut - up to you.

So much to see, so little time. A whole day in a helicopter, landing regularly in some of the most amazing spots in the world. Picnics and small walks. A day to remember and definitely one for the books.

The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp, while it has a huge heart, is a fairly intimate affair. We are not only looking forward to working with you to create something special, we reckon you’ll love working with our team too.
