About the Activity

Winter mountaineering is an exhilarating and hands-on way to experience the Cairngorm mountains. Unlike winter climbing, mountaineering is about the journey. We'll select a route that will be challenging but achievable and is big on scenery and satisfaction! On this immersive experience you'll get to climb one or more historic mountaineering routes; in a remote corrie, along an airy ridge or up sheer cliff face! This experience is suitable for novices, beginners and travellers looking for a special experience in the local area. No prior experience of climbing or mountaineering is necessary and you'll be kept safe and encouraged every step of the way. Our guides hold the highest attainable qualifications in mountaineering and climbing and are passionate about giving you the best possible experience. We love guiding complete beginners as much as we love guiding experienced climbers. We enjoy working with both the young and the young at heart... We look forward to exploring with you!

Travel Itinerary

Scottish winter mountaineering draws on a broad range of skills to safely travel through stunning mountain scenery. Join us for a grand tour of the frozen cliffs of the Cairngorms and experience some classic Scottish mountaineering! Your day begins in the morning when you meet our fully qualified Winter Mountaineering Guide for a discussion about what to expect during the experience. They'll answer any questions you have and supply you with everything you'll need to stay safe. After a short drive, we continue our approach into the Cairngorms on foot. Sometimes crampons and an ice axe are required for this section, but your guide will instruct you on their safe use. Our approach walk usually takes around an hour. Look out for climbers on the frozen cliffs around you and the snow topped winter mountains stretching into the distance. When you arrive below your climb, you'll be fitted with a harness and helmet and attached to your Guide by climbing rope. With ice axes deployed and crampons attached they'll lead the route by climbing ahead and securing your rope above you. Our Guides will keep you safe, improve your technique, provide encouragement and take epic photos throughout!View Location
