It started out as an interest and turned into something fundamental – the fascination for high mountains and great adventures. After several climbs and expeditions our self-confidence grew; we can arrange this our way!

For you who might be doing this for the first time, or even for the skilled mountaineer: We deliver a unique package based on our own personal experiences travelling and climbing unknown territory.

Our mission is for everyone who wants to challenge themselves in high altitude, to ensure it will become an unforgettable journey. We do this by creating excellent conditions both before and during the climb. Catamount’s goal is to offer tours with a high degree of quality and comfort, and to maximize the chances of reaching the summit.

There are a few critical factors that drive the overall success of a mountain climb, and our method is to make sure we account for these. The reason we know how to, is that we have firsthand experience with all tours we provide, as we have successfully climbed all the mountains ourselves.

We invest extra time in acclimatization since we are convinced this makes a huge difference. Our tours are led by fully-fledged guides, we limit the number of participants per tour to a maximum of 9 and we make sure that you are well prepared before starting your journey by offering professional advice and sharing the necessary knowledge with you.
