Your Safety is Our Main Priority
Our staff are trained in first aid and health and safety, and the guides receive specific training in altitude-related illnesses and how to cope with an emergency. The staff all carry mobile phones and satellite phones if necessary. On the mountain trips we carry pulse oximeters, oxygen bottles where necessary on the higher mountains and first aid kits which are regularly checked and replenished.
We work hard to ensure that all of our staff adopt high levels of sanitation and hygiene, especially with regard to food and water. Food is stored and transported carefully, and bought fresh from local trusted suppliers. We always check the restaurants and lodges that we use for their standards in food hygiene. Drinking water is provided from the kitchens boiled and strained and we promote a policy of not buying and using disposable plastic bottles where possible.

Explore the Adventure Alternative Companies
Adventure Alternative has invested in the start up of a number of locally owned AA operations, all of which exist under the Adventure Alternative trademark. The ‘alternative’ business model has been in part this investment in our destination management companies (DMCs), instead of just hiring any local outfit.
The benefit of this long term investment and partnership has been that each company applies the same principles and quality as we do in the UK, and complies with the central code of conduct, and also every company contributes to the local communities through their respective Moving Mountains charity arm.
Each Adventure Alternative local company manages all of the AA clients, but also attracts its own clientele and bookings directly. The staff in each location have been working for each company for many years and they are all very familiar with our brand and ethos.
