Mountain Scrambling

Mountain Scrambling

Challenge yourself on a mountain scrambling course, these are some of the most exhilarating courses we run. Mountain Scrambling is not for the faint hearted as it involves climbing steep and exposed mountain ridges with the minimum of protection. A good head for heights is essential as is the ability to move confidently on exposed but technically straight forward terrain.

Our guides know the best routes to the summits and have substantial knowledge of the area’s history and geology and wildlife etc... Mountain days are bespoke so we can guide you on various routes like fiacaill ridge, pygmy ridge or even one of the fine ridges of Ben Nevis

Active can provide you with all the equipment required however we would recommend that people bring their own walking boots suitable for the high mountains.
