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.
