Icicle Mountaineering, Ski & Adventure
Welcome,
Kingsley Jones is the head IML of the Icicle guiding team, and course director of the Icicle trekking and snowshoeing courses program.
Established in 2000, Icicle has grown to become the largest UK provider of specialist guided courses. Join us in the mountains to climb, trek and ski. Icicle is unique in that we also have a base in the Alpine capital of Chamonix Mont Blanc. We also offer a wide range of trips 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 99.8% summit record on Kilimanjaro since 2005. 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.
The 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 mountains soon.

TREK / SNOWSHOE LEADER GUARANTEE SCHEMEIn some of the most popular Alpine countries for trekking, including France, it is now a legal requirement for all those paid to lead treks to be qualified as a UIMLA trekking guide. We guarantee that all our trek leaders are fully qualified, even on treks where it is not a legal requirement. Some UK trekking companies who are household names are ignoring this law. If you book with them and an accident occurs, your insurance may be invalid. Ask anyone to match our guarantee that you are led by a UIMLA leader. Those who have booked with a sub-standard operator should consider an exodus from their illegal itinerary. Icicle employs a team of over 30 IFMGA guides and UIMLA leaders. See the website for full details of our guiding team, be it for an ascent of the Eiger, or a Tour du Mont Blanc trek, you can rest assured that you are in the safest of hands. We take no shortcuts with your safety.
