Prices

At ISM we are determined that our courses will continue to lead the field not only in terms of quality but also in terms of value for money.

We have always operated a competitive prices policy, and although this has come under pressure in recent times (from companies whose prices exclude essential elements - often given as very optimistic 'estimates'), we stand by this policy. Please see below for what is included in the course price..

While you are with ISM, we want you to focus on the mountain activities and to enjoy your holiday free from worries about extra expense.

Your ISM course price covers:

Guiding/Instruction and all guides expenses.
Hotel accommodation in a shared room at either end of the course (except where specified).

All transportation (once you have reached us).
All mechanical uplift (e.g. mountain railway, cable cars) except where specified in the course description (see below for exceptions).
Loan of any technical equipment required (except personal clothing/mountain/boots/ski hardware).

Please note - In the unlikely event of a change to the advertised programme, there may be an additional charge to cover any ground transport, trains or extra lifts if used.

Note on Personal Guiding: The fees charged are for guiding only. Clients must cover their own and the Guide's expenses for their chosen itinerary. Please contact the ISM Office for more details.

Testimonials For ISM

Good mixture of progressive instruction and learning, climbing and guiding. We climbed some very good mountains from good huts and made the best of the mixed weather conditions. The course also used a range of situations and locations to cover a wide range of skills and techniques.

Classic AlpinISM (Instructional Course)

Thank for an amazing couple of weeks! Matt and Stu were fantastic. I learned so much but also had a lot of fun. I have come home feeling like a proper mountaineer, having made some great new friends and with some unforgettable memories. I plan to come back next year!

Tim

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!
