The hidden gems made my trip very special
Edward's experience and knowledge of the terrain ensures you come to the right place at the right time so you can ski the best snow available. For me though, it were the small ski areas (Where you were almost alone) and the hidden gems that were the hotel and restaurants he took us to that made my trip very special. And when you get back exhausted from a great powder day, Ilse and her big smile will be there to greet you with some snacks, and show off her great cooking skills at dinner.

Heliski weekend Espace Mont BlancA fun and well organised Mont Blanc summit!
I climbed the Mont Blanc succesfully in June 2018 with Bekker Mountain Travel. I look back on an amazing experience, mainly due to the expertise and personalities of Edward Bekker and his wife Ilse. Great food and hospitality in their chalet, fantastic acclimatization climbs and great guides with a "safety-first" attitude all the way to the top. Really fun and challenging experience.

Climbing the Mont Blanc (4810 m)It exceeded my expectations
"Great week off freeriding and ski touring. Edward took us to the places where the snow was at it's best and Ilse prepared the most delicious food. It was my second time and it exceeded my expectations again."

Toerski, Splitboard & Freeride Espace Mont Blanc Secret PlacesWhat a powder adventure!
"This was my 4th trip with Edward, and we had an amazing week. From "Artic skiing" (due to strong winds) on Tuesday to fresh powder from Wednesday onwards.... Ilse Bekker is a warm hostess, who prepares delightful meals and makes everybody feel at home. The chalet is fitted with amenities such as a sauna and outdoor hut tub, great for relaxing at the end of a hard day’s work!"
