Private Guiding

Private guiding is ideal if you have specific technical objectives in mind, such as climbing the Matterhorn, Eiger, Dent Blanche, Weisshorn or any other more technical 4000m peaks. It is also a good way to do some of the more technical alpine rock routes.

Private guiding is perfect if you wish to plan a week to fit your personal goals, at any ability.

Please contact ISM to dicuss your goals and objectives and we will help you to plan and achive those goals.

Testimonials For ISM

"I loved the course and Terry was great. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun and feel confident and secure in my technique".

BT
Summits & Skills 4000m (Instructional Course)

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)

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.
