Passport & Visas

Visa and Passport information

It is essential that you have your passport with you when you are on an ISM course. Our courses can take place in the alps of Switzerland, France and Italy and you may need to show it. If you require a visa to visit any of these countries, please ensure that this is arranged in your home country before your course.


Testimonials For ISM

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.

Steve (2017)

Thank you very much for an enjoyable and inspiring week in the Alps, and for your patience and good humour throughout. You have a completely satisfied customer and I hope to join another ISM course sometime in the future.

Classic AlpinISM (Instructional Course)

“What an incredible week learning the basics of Mountaineering. The course is perfectly balanced between summiting high alpine peaks and learning rope, climbing and glacier skills.
