Custom Weeks

With our experience and knowledge of the Alps, we are happy to offer a tailored service, to help you organise a custom package for your group. Whether you are a small group with certain date and time constraints, or you are looking for something that's a little different from our standard courses, we will be happy to help.

Over the last 40 years, we have worked very closely with numerous schools, colleges, universities, and friendship groups to help make a trip of a lifetime happen.

Looking to get inspired and do something further afield than the Alps? We can help you with ideas and also help you organise and plan a completely customised trip climbing and mountaineering anywhere in the world.

Testimonials For ISM

Just a quick word of thanks for the course last week. Our guide Tom was excellent and covered a lot of miles to ensure we got the best conditions and great routes in and was always ready with a word or two of advice when needed - please pass my thanks on to him,

James (2017)
Alpine Rock

The course was excellent, lots of variety and provided me with a good range of skills. Loved reaching the summit of the Weissmeis, for such a nervous and unconfident novice like me, I gained a real sense of achievement from the ascent and the whole week. Huge thanks to Pat.

Jo Clark
Summits & Skills 4000m (Instructional Course)

The course content was brilliant. No knocking whatsoever. We had Jacky for the duration, and his experience shines through and his leadership. He taught me a lot of things, not just the black and white of things but actually quick methods to overcome tricky situations!
