Icicle Mountaineering

Welcome to Icicle mountaineering, ski & adventure...

Established in 2000, Icicle has grown to become the largest UK provider of specialist ski and Alpine climbing courses, based in the Alpine capital of Chamonix Mont Blanc. We also offer a range of trekking and snowshoeing courses, and expeditions around the world.

Our expeditions, ski and Alpine courses have a price match guarantee, so offer great value without sacrificing standards as shown by our 100% summit record on Kilimanjaro in 2006. What sets our courses apart are the evening instruction sessions after each day of guiding, itinerary flexibility that is essential to maximise your summiting chances, and no single suppliments. Alpine courses are all led by mountain professionals (IFMGA guides & UIMLA leaders), to maximise your learning experience and to ensure your safety.

If you are planning a ski or summer holiday, or a corporate event, we have a range of chalets and apartments in the Chamonix valley. Our full time resort team are massively experienced, so can advise you on any aspect of your holiday from the best aprés to the latest weather and mountain conditions. Icicle hosts are there every day of your stay 24/7, to assist you in having the best time on and off the mountain.

Our aim is simply to give you the best possible holiday, and we always go the extra mile to exceed your expectations. The key to this is meticulous logistics to make your trip seamless, and to offer the quality of trips we would dream of going on ourselves! We look forward to seeing you in the Alps, or on one of our expeditions.
