Our courses and holidays are based at Active’s Craigower Lodge Centre as well as offering hotel and guest house breaks with local partners in Aviemore and the surrounding area.

Ski touring is the most satisfying and efficient way of exploring and travelling through the mountains and for gaining access to climbs.

Our Ski Mountaineering Courses will equip you with the skills necessary for touring safely in the Scottish mountains as well as most of the essential skills for touring in Nordic or Alpine regions.

The challenges presented by the Scottish mountains in winter can never be underestimated. Conditions similar to the arctic regions can be experienced. It is compulsory for those walking or climbing in these conditions to have the appropriate skills to ensure your classic Mountain days become mountain years.
