About Buena Vista Mountain Adventures
Buena Vista Mountain Adventures, or BVMA, is a guiding company focused on the mountains rather than the river, operating throughout the Sawatch Range and the central Colorado Rockies from its base in Buena Vista. It offers a rare combination of rock climbing, backcountry skiing and formal mountain education for visitors who want to get up high on granite or snow with experienced local guides.
In the warmer months BVMA guides rock climbing and rappelling on the crags around Buena Vista and the Collegiate Peaks, tailoring outings to everyone from first-time climbers to those chasing multi-pitch objectives. In winter it leads backcountry skiing and splitboarding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, and it runs a full slate of AIARE avalanche courses, avalanche rescue clinics and wilderness medicine training for those building serious mountain skills.
BVMA's emphasis on education and certification sets it apart from the valley's water-focused outfitters. Certified guides, small groups and a curriculum that spans single-day climbs to multi-level avalanche courses make it the go-to choice for travelers who want to learn to move safely and confidently in Colorado's high country.
