Prices
At ISM, we are committed to ensuring our courses continue to lead the field - not only in quality, but also in value for money.
We have always maintained a competitive pricing policy. While this approach has come under increasing pressure in recent years (particularly from companies advertising prices that exclude essential elements or rely on optimistic estimates), we remain committed to transparency and fairness.
Our aim is simple: while you are with ISM, you can focus entirely on your mountain experience and enjoy your holiday without worrying about unexpected additional costs.

Course-Specific Notes
Technical Alpine Ascents & Alpine Rock
These courses typically run without the use of mechanical uplift and are priced accordingly. If uplift is used (by agreement of the group), it will be charged as an additional cost.
Personal Guiding
For personal guiding, fees cover guiding services only. Clients are responsible for covering both their own expenses and those of the guide, depending on the chosen itinerary.
Please contact the ISM office for further details.
