  • All cancellation/refund requests must be made in writing and be received in our office within the deadlines stated above.

Trip Cancellation Insurance

As there are many unforeseen circumstances that may occur during or leading up to the trip, we highly recommend trip cancellation insurance.

Trip cancellation insurance allows you to get reimbursement if you need to cancel your expedition when you are not entitled to a refund from Alpine Ascents.

Alpine Ascents International offers a plan in conjunction with our travel insurance partner.

This was a great program. I learned a lot and had a great overall experience, with friendly and knowledgeable guides. Our guides route knowledge, emphasis on safety, and decision to get everyone up earlier than I thought the original plan was, made the summit success even more special
