Alpine Course Costs

The price quoted is the course fee per person - ie it covers our guiding fees and expenses. A typical total for your personal costs during the trip is given in the summary box on each course page. Food, accommodation and uplift normally come to ~£400 for a week long course. You simply pay for these directly as we go along. Approximate costs for the individual items are given below:

• accommodation - 1/2 board at our recommended hotel starts at £50-60 per night
• hut fees - are approx £40-50 per night
• cable cars - are typically £70-100 per week

Prices quoted are for the cost of hiring the guide only. During the week the guides expenses must also be met. This includes: uplift (cable cars etc), mountain huts at half board, fuel at cost, general expenses (road/tunnel tolls etc) and valley hotel expenses half board if you stay outside of the guides seasonal valley base. Most huts and cable cars charge a substantially discounted rate for the guide. Typical daily costs for the guides expenses are given below:
