Edward Bekker Ski & Alpinisme is a travel organization, specialized in organizing and carrying out ski and mountain sports trips. From mountain sports courses for beginners in the Apls to worldwide climbing expeditions to the seven summits, we have tailored programs for every level. Edward Bekker and his team of UIAGM mountain and ski guides stand for top quality in mountain sports, whereby safety is of utmost importance.

We’re located in Switzerland, a stone’s throw from the French town of Chamonix and have a reception and equipment depot in Chamonix. We also have an office in the Netherlands from which we organize all expeditions outside of the Alps.

At Edward Bekker Ski & Alpinisme, we work only with fully certified mountain guides and guides in training. Each is a member of UIAGM/IFMGA, the international association of guides. Read more about our guides.

We are fully equipped to take care of the logistics and safety of film and photo teams during shoots high in the mountains. Through our contacts with specialized helicopter pilots, camera teams and photographers, we have supported many shoots for Dutch television productions and commercials, such as those for Vara's Jules Unlimited, Veronica Travel Guides, BNN, SBS6, Surawi Video Productions, Ronald Naar and Bernd Ritschel. Please contact us for more information.

Edward Bekker became a certified guide in 1987 after an intense four-year training program at the Technical University of Munich. He received the German diploma ‘Staatlich geprüfter Berg- und Skiführer’, becoming the first certified mountain and ski guide from the Netherlands. As an alpinist and mountain guide, he has participated in many successful expeditions. Read more about Edward Bekker.

Be it a team building adventure weekend with colleagues in Chamonix or going on expedition with friends in Caucasus, we at Edward Bekker Ski & Alpinisme can develop a tailor-made trip for you. We have a lot of experience organizing tailor made trips that are developed considering your wishes, experience level, number of participants, etc.  We’ve already had the pleasure of organizing trips in Chamonix for groups from Colgate/Palmolive, Unilever and the Free Record Shop. Please contact us if you are interested.  

Is the top of the Alps within everyone’s reach? Though climbing Mont Blanc at 15,761ft (4,804m) is often considered simple, but it should definitely not be underestimated. Through changes in the weather, falling rocks and other dangers from altitude, the mountain can quickly become treacherous. In order to increase the safety of participants, our experienced guides, according to local custom, only take two participants on their rope during a climb. In our small groups of maximum eight participants, the chance is greater that you will reach the summit.
