Steve Jones

IFMGA British Mountain Guide

Perhaps the most experienced British guide working in the Alps, Steve has lived in Switzerland for more than 30yrs. He is a member of the Swiss Guides association as well as the British Mountain Guides.

Having climbed and travelled in most parts of the world, Steve has made the Alps his home and is particularly knowledgeable about the lesser-known areas. As one of the first British guides to ski to a high standard, Steve has specialised in skiing and ski touring and is an acknowledged expert on avalanches (training fellow guides in avalanche awareness skills). He also has a major role in devising and running our introductory courses and Student Alpine Weeks.

Testimonials For ISM

Thanks for organising an excellent week. The course format, accommodation and set up was perfect. The guide was outstanding and gave us a full week of constructive tuition. I was able to put his training into practice the following week when I met up with a friend and did the Cosmiques Arrete.

Neil, our guide for the week, was exceptional; a true professional, a huge inspiration and just great company. He shared so many useful tips with us and had great stories to share too. Looking forward to booking another course with ISM in 2022!”

William Summits and Skills 4000m 2021

Perfectly paced and tailored, great variety of skills learned. Guiding and Instruction? Thomas was fab! Everything was pitched at the right level (no pun intended), safety was always paramount and everyone had so much fun learning everything.
