Winter Walking & Mountaineering
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.
Active offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of mountain training courses and holidays available. From long distance and high level walks to mountain scrambling and rock climbing, we provide courses year round at introductory to advanced levels. If you don’t see what you are looking for we will be happy to design a package tailored to suit your exact requirements.
