I am studying in England and looking at taking some time off to do some climbing. Does anyone have any good suggestions of some good climbing in Europe (particularly where Ryanair or Easyjet go)?

At first I was looking at Elbrus (Georgia) but I can't find cheap tickets there. Then I was looking at the Matterhorn. Have any of you done it before? I am wondering if there are any cheap guides you could recommend. Or did anyone go without a guide?

I'm also trying to find some place to glacier climb, but not having much luck as far as finding specifics.

Don't expect anything to be cheap in Switzerland.

@Fred: concentrate on the Zürich and Geneva Area if you want to fly by Ryanair or Easyjet. As Kathrin already said Switzerland isn´t cheap but you have a got good "value for money" here. If you inventive you can find a lot ways to stay in Switzerland for less money. Main climbing regions here are: Wallis / Berner Oberland and Graubunden.
