Recces 2024

Welcome to our 2024 recces

Simon Stevens at Alpine Exploratory In the run up, and throughout, our season, we walked the routes to update our routecards. Our team members are active across our Alpine, Scandinavian and UK routes in the months from March to September.

2024 in the Alps

We walk the Tour du Mont Blanc and the Adlerweg earlier than the other Alpine trips, because they tend to hold less snow before Summer. We follow up with our higher Alpine routes in late June and early July.

2024 in the UK and Ireland

The lower land of our UK and Irish trails lets us recce them in March and April. We spread out across the Scottish Highlands, English Lakes, the Pennines and Western Ireland. It's a rare year for snow to linger much into April, at least on our routes even if still on the peaks.
