Accommodation

Valley & Hotel Accommodation

Hotel accommodation is typically provided at the beginning and/or end of your course, as well as during certain valley-based nights.

• Rooms are based on two people sharing a twin room
• If you are travelling solo, you will be allocated a shared room with another ISM client on the same course

If you would prefer your own room:

• A single occupancy upgrade may be requested (subject to availability)
• This is charged at a supplement of €110 per night
• Single room upgrades are available for valley/hotel accommodation only

Mountain Hut Accommodation

On alpine courses, a number of nights are spent in traditional mountain huts.

• Accommodation is in shared dormitory-style bunk rooms
• You will typically share with other course participants and, at times, other mountaineers using the hut
• Dormitory sizes vary widely, ranging from 4-person rooms to larger dorms of 20+ depending on the hut

Please note:

• There are no single room or upgrade options in mountain huts
• Facilities are communal, reflecting the nature of high mountain environments

Expedition Accommodation (Camping)

For mountaineering expeditions, accommodation may also include camping:

• At base camp, single occupancy tents may be available on request
• At advanced base camp and higher camps, clients are generally expected to share a two-person tent

This reflects the practical realities of expedition mountaineering, where travelling light and efficiently at altitude is essential.

Questions & Upgrades

If you have any questions or specific requirements regarding accommodation, or if you would like to request a single room upgrade for hotel stays, please contact the ISM office.

We are happy to discuss options and help you find the best arrangement for your course.
