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 a fantastic week. It was really one of the best things I have ever done. I learned a lot during the week, not only about climbing technique, but also about attitude.

This was a fantastic trip. Paolo was excellent. The accommodation great. All helped along by wall to wall sunshine, stunning arctic scenery and some superb snow, so no problems as far as I'm concerned.

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.
