As winter sets in, we head north to Scotland's breathtaking Cairngorms National Park, offering some of the best conditions for winter skills courses Scotland has to offer. This stunning location is the perfect place to immerse yourself in winter mountaineering, with its reliable early-season snow and ice conditions and easy access to higher ground via the ski area.

You'll learn crucial techniques such as fitting crampons, performing ice axe arrests, and understanding avalanche safety and avoidance.
We also offer bespoke courses for clubs, groups, and teams looking to enhance their winter skills together, ensuring a tailored experience to meet specific needs. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your existing skills, our winter skills courses in Scotland are the perfect way to prepare for the challenges of winter hillwalking and mountaineering.
