Intro to Rock Climbing & Abseiling in Aviemore

Challenge yourself by rock climbing and abseiling in Aviemore and the Cairngorms on your holiday to Scotland. These fun & adventurous climbing and abseiling sessions are located at several fine crags around the Aviemore and Cairngorms National Park. All safety equipment is supplied for the day by Active to provide everything from rock taster days to instructor qualification courses.

Our rock climbing and abseiling days in Aviemore & the Cairngorms are suitable for families and adults who are reasonably fit and agile, although we will climb on routes suitable to all abilities and select abseils to suit varying confidence levels. The trips are led by our fully trained instructors and all equipment is supplied. No prior experience is required for these days as coaching will be offered on the go. Your climbing skills will develop quickly.
 
A standard rock climbing & abseiling introduction would probably be based around Kingussie crag where we would choose routes appropriate to the individuals for climbing/abseiling on. There are stunning views out across the Glen looking towards Ruthven Barracks and the Cairngorms. If the weather looks good elsewhere then we would travel to a more suitable location.
