Private Guided Winter Mountain Walking Experience in the Cairngorms

New8 h 30 minBy EverydayClimbing

About this activity

Exploring the Cairngorms in winter is really special. White snow crowns the hills, clear air makes for extra special views and fewer visitors give a sense of solitude.

On this immersive experience you'll get to explore away from the crowds, learning how to safely travel over snow and ice and enjoying the Cairngorms at their most beautiful.

This experience is suitable for novices, beginners and travellers looking for a special experience in the local area. No prior experience of winter mountain walking is necessary and you'll be kept safe and encouraged every step of the way. We'll select a route that will be challenging but achievable and is big on scenery and satisfaction!

Our guides hold the highest attainable qualifications in mountaineering and climbing and are passionate about giving you the best possible experience. We are used to working with complete beginners to highly experienced climbers and from the young, to the young at heart.

We look forward to exploring with you!
