Fully Inclusive Prices
At ISM we are determined that our courses will continue to lead the field not only in terms of quality but also in terms of value for money.
We have always operated an all-inclusive prices policy, and although this has come under pressure in recent times (from companies whose prices exclude essential elements - often given as very optimistic 'estimates'), we stand by this policy and apply it to all courses except for clearly stated instances where a particular ground cost can vary too significantly to make a fair charge for it. If we have to drive further to avoid bad weather, or take extra uplift due to a change of plan, you don't have to worry about the cost.
While you are with ISM, we want you to focus on the mountain activities and to enjoy your holiday free from worries about extra expense.
Your ISM course price covers: -
- Guiding / Instruction and all guides expenses.
- Hotel accommodation at either end of the course.
- Valley and mountain hut accommodation with full board throughout the course.
- All picnic lunches and snack food.
- All transportation (once you have reached us).
- All mechanical uplift (e.g. mountain railway, cable cars).
- Loan of any technical equipment required (except personal clothing/mountain boots/ski hardware).
Not Covered: -
- Drinks (however we do supply copious quantities of tea at mountain huts!).
- Restaurant lunches (taken occasionally if the weather is bad, with agreement of the group).
