As a members of the British Association of Mountain Guides, we are proud to to be supported by Arc’teryx, the leading outdoor equipment manufacturer. Arc’teryx provide considerable support for trainee British Mountain Guides passing through the assessment scheme.
Arc`teryx central purpose is to build the finest products possible. This is achieved by merging unrivalled designs with the best quality, highest performing materials and assembling them in the most innovative and most durable manner for the intended use.
For a number of years now we’ve been working with the team at Mountain Drop-offs, who organise all of our transfers for Haute Routes and other trips and ski tours in the Chamonix region.
For regular airport transfers between Geneva and Chamonix, Mountain Dropoffs offer the best all round service, with regular reliable transfers through the season.
They offer a shared minibus taxi service which meets you in the airport and drops you off at the door of your hotel. Book your transfer here and use promo code ALPGUID to receive a discount on your journey.
In order to keep our prices as low as possible, we prefer to receive balance payments by direct bank transfer rather than card payments, which incur significant back end fees.
If you live outside the UK, then the best way to do this is via an international payment service such as Wise (formerly Transferwise). This is much cheaper than making an international bank transfer through your bank, as fees are lower and you get a far better exchange rate.
We make dozens of international money transfers each year and always use Wise – it’s secure, convenient and cheap! If you want to make a balance payment to us using Wise, then you can sign up to Wise here.
We are an insurance partner of the BMC and proud to recommend their services.

We believe that the BMC offer the gold standard in mountain rescue insurance for UK residents – with very competitive single trip and annual policies, that provide excellent cover for all of the mountaineering and skiing trips that we offer.
