What do you mean by “our prices are based on double occupancy”?

Our prices are based on there being two guests per room. This generally means two guests traveling together but can also include two solo travelers that we pair as roommates. When occupancy is not shared, a room becomes "private," with a private room charge to account for the difference in price.

If this is you, please find our Single Occupancy option in the book now section.

Solo Travelers

If I’m traveling alone, will you find me a roommate or can I have a private room?

Prices are based on double occupancy (2 people per room). If you’re solo and prefer to share, Ascent will strive to pair you with a roommate; saving you the private room charge. The further out you book, the more likely we will be able to find you a roomate.

When you book the trip, the private room charge will apply. If a roommate is found before your trip departure, the charge will be removed.

Will I need a passport or visa if I’m traveling internationally?

International travel requires a passport. Your Travel Planner contains details about required documents, and the consulate number, if applicable, for your particular trip. Guests who are citizens of countries other than the United States should contact the closest consulate for the country to which they're planning to travel to determine if a visa is required.

Do I have to carry any of my own luggage or gear?

The guides will transport all luggage throughout the trip in Ascent’s vans. They'll also gladly transport any purchases you’ve made along the way. You need only carry snacks, clothing and personal items for the day's activities

How do you accommodate people of varying abilities?

Every day of your Ascent Trip, you'll have options. One day you might go for the most challenging, the next day, you may take it easy, leaving more time for relaxation or exploration. For your peace of mind, one leader will be in the Ascent van, ready to offer assistance, refreshments or a lift if you're wanting a change of scenery.

Our trips attract people of varying abilities so there will typically be someone else traveling at your pace, if not your own travel partner. This is ideal for friends and couples with different paces; they can spend the day with similarly fit travelers and then reunite for lunch and in the evening.

How large will my group be?

Trips are limited to 10 guests. Its likely there will be 8-10 on your trip.

Does Ascent offer special youth rates?

Youth Rates on Designated Family Trips:
On Hotel Trips, when a child shares a room with one adult or two children share a room, youths (4 to 17 years old) receive a 10% savings. When a youth is the third or fourth person in a room, they receive 20% savings. When one youth is in a separate room, a 10% savings is applied to the trip price but the full private room charge applies.

Youth Rates on Trips for Couples, Friends & Solos:
10% off for youths 16 to 17 when sharing a room with two adults. All minors (under 18 years) must be accompanied by at least one adult. When one youth is in a single room, the full private room charge will apply.

Travel Insurance:

While not required, we recommend that each traveler gets travel insurance.

Cancellation Policy:

If you need to cancel the trip - 120+ days out the fee is $500, 91-120 days $999, 61-90 days $2000, 0-60 days full charge. That being said we are realistic and empathetic, if something traumatic were to happen we would be more than willing to listen and extend a refund depending on the circumstances. If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to ask!
