We did the 6 day Rosengarten Guided Via Ferrata trip and had the most fantastic time. It was, honestly, the hardest week of my life, but the rewards every day were so worth it! Spectacular scenery, challenging via ferratas, fabulous Refugios and Martino, our guide, was a terrific guide making sure ‘safety never took a holiday’.
This is our second trip with On Top. (We did the Cortina via ferrata trek 3 years ago.) The organisation and communication for this trip was, like last time, excellent. Jessica and her team provided us with a fabulous holiday. We definitely recommend On Top as a great company to go with.

Jessica from OnTop did a great job organizing a mid September trip for us on Alta Via 2 in Dolomites. We had asked for longer days and she made it work with lots of trekking and high alpine huts. awesome trip and thanks to OnTop! A at

A group of friends did the Wapta Glacier trek in July.   Well organized, guide was great, food was real good for a mountaineering adventure.   Top notch and would not hesitate to use them again.

Excellent organisation and communication from start to finish – the trip description was accurate and we felt well prepared as a family for the Haute Route Glacier Trek.
The route was as challenging as expected, made tougher by warm weather and very early starts, but the high alpine scenery was spectacular.
Our guide, Nino, was outstanding: safety-focused, highly experienced, and brilliant under pressure.
Based on this experience, I’d give OnTop a 10/10 and would happily recommend them to friends.

We have worked with On Top twice now - once for the Wapta Glacier with a guide, and this past month for a self-guided hike in the Dolomites. On Top did all of the booking, organization, hike planning, etc... and provided us with everything we needed to have a safe adventure. We were challenged in all the right ways, and felt well-supported throughout. The rifugios they booked were perfect, and we had a grand journey. We highly recommend this company!

We did the Wapta Ice Field trek in early July with OnTop and had an amazing experience! Our guide, Dave, was extremely knowledgeable about the area. With a deep history in search and rescue, we felt very safe with his guidance.

This trek is a true "mountaineering" adventure that requires a certain level of fitness and comfortability with rugged terrain. My partner and I have done the W Trek in Patagonia as well as several hut hikes in Europe, but found this to be the most challenging.

With the Glaciers continuing to recede, the landscape is constantly changing, meaning there is often no trail to follow and the guides have to be able to read the situation and change routes based on the current conditions of the day. If you enjoy exploring and paving your own path, you will really like this! This was a level of remoteness I had not experienced before and it was incredible to get to see the Glaciers and terrain so untouched.

The huts were awesome and the meals provided by OnTop were great. At one of the huts, we had the place entirely to ourselves!!  There was always hot coffee to start the day as well!

The last thing I'd note is that given the constant changes in this area, it is likely that your trip/itinerary will be adjusted in real time. You should be prepared for a lot of unknowns and be ready to be flexible with timing. I'd definitely recommend adding some padding to your time in Banff following your trip in case there are any conditions that prevent you from making it back in time!

Overall, we had a great experience and definitely recommend booking with OnTop.

Our overall experience with OnTop was excellent. The trip organization and communication were smooth and professional from the start. Emails were clear, responses came quickly, and every logistical detail was covered before we even asked. It really gave us confidence heading into the trip.

The itinerary was well thought out, a perfect balance between adventure, scenic variety, and downtime. Each day felt purposeful without being rushed, and there was enough flexibility to make little detours or linger at favorite spots.

The GPX files and PDF maps were accurate and easy to follow. Even in more remote sections, navigation was simple. Having both formats was a nice touch. We used the GPX tracks on our devices but appreciated the printed maps for quick reference and overview planning.

Lodging and meals were great overall. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and well located. Food portions were generous after long days on the trail, and the quality ranged from good to outstanding. We especially appreciated the local touches at smaller inns.

Based on this experience, I’d rate my likelihood of recommending OnTop to friends a 10 out of 10. It’s a very well-run operation, and I’d happily travel with them again.
