| Scottish Winter Mountaineering and Climbing |
 |
The high mountains of Scotland offer a unique challenge to mountaineers. The unstable weather pattern, variable temperature and high altitude throw up unexpected challenges and unrivalled rewards. All of this has earned the Scottish Mountains a world-wide reputation as the perfect training ground for mountaineering in the Alps or higher ranges. For our Scottish winter climbing we’re based in Glencoe, with much of the best climbing in Scotland right outside the front door. Whether you choose to learn to navigate confidently to the summit of your first Munro or pick your way carefully up a gleaming ice gully one thing is for sure, our highly-qualified and enthusiastic instructors will help you develop the skill, technique and confidence you need to get more out of this rugged mountain environment. So come with us to the Scottish mountains and open your eyes to a winter experience you’ll never forget.

This is a logical step up from our Welsh Winter Courses, and to feel confident above the snowline you need specific winter skills.
