Private Guided Winter Mountaineering Experience in the Cairngorms

About this 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!
