Description of The International School of Mountaineering
Licence Nº not providedISM (the International School of Mountaineering Limited) is widely recognised as the foremost organisation of its kind. Since 1965 we have been running the most extensive programme of alpine mountaineering courses available to English-speakers internationally. This is coupled with a range of 'Haute Route' treks across the Alps in summer, with Ski Tours and Off-piste skiing courses throughout the spring, and with ice climbing courses in the winter months. Countless people have discovered the mountains through ISM; experienced climbers return time after time to enjoy and progress through our wide-ranging alpine programme and perhaps share the great adventure of an ISM expedition.
The ISM year begins with Ice Climbing Courses in the Alps and Canada, taking advantage of the very reliable ice climbing conditions to be found in these world-renowned icefall climbing venues. By late February, temperatures in the Alps are beginning to rise a little and the days get longer – this is when our Ski Touring courses and Off-Piste Ski weeks begin in earnest. Our earlier alpine ski touring courses focus on building skills, while during the later weeks we ski the finest alpine Haute Routes, including the famous high level route from Chamonix to Zermatt.
Throughout the winter and spring in the UK we run a personalised and flexible programme of Rock Climbing courses and Alpine Training days, both to introduce novices to the sports of rock climbing and mountaineering and to prepare people for any alpine courses they might be aiming to do in the summer. For experienced climbers we offer guided climbing on the best UK rock climbs as well as rock climbing holidays in Sardinia (perhaps the best of the ‘Sun Rock’ venues in the Mediterranean).
We offer the widest range of summer alpine courses available, with something for all mountain-lovers whether you want to learn the skills of alpine climbing, climb famous peaks like Mont Blanc, the Eiger and the Matterhorn, climb the Alpine 4000m Peaks or trek hut-to-hut over the glaciers and high passes on one of our summer High Alpine Treks. Our mountaineering courses and 'Haute Route' Treks range over the whole of the Western Alps, from the Bernese Oberland in the north to the Gran Paradiso and Mont Blanc Massif further south. We also run customised programmes in such far-flung areas as the Dolomites, the Ecrins, the Vanoise and Bregaglia.
