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.
In many situations, this may be the only way to receive a refund for unused services.
In brief, Trip Cancellation insurance may allow 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.
Phenomenal, one of the best trips of my life. My guides were exceptional, both Willie and Danny are incredibly skilled guides, with super strong experience. Excellent communicators, with strong desire to impart their knowledge to make you better. Lodging was incredible.
