We can't get to all the areas we'd like to in a single day.  These trips take care of that.

Winter Skills Weekend for Hill Walkers

This overnight trip, based in Aviemore, will be focusing on covering the fundamental winter mountaineering skills over the two days. We will have quick access to the snow in the Northern Cairngorms and may take in a summit if we get the chance. If folk already have some winter walking skills, we can look at progressing to more advanced techniques.

Day 1 – Depart Falkirk, get straight on the hill, practice personal winter walking skills, go to Aviemore.

Day 2 – Depart Aviemore, get back on the hill, use our winter skills on a journey on the mountain, return to Falkirk.

Participants need to arrange their own accommodation for the night. The instructors will be staying in Aviemore Youth Hostel. There are other options in and around Aviemore. Transport and any equipment needed are included in the course fee. Participants with alternative travel / accommodation arrangements will need to meet the instructors in Aviemore or at Cairngorm Mountain car park before each day on the hill.

The course is open to anyone with summer hillwalking experience.
