Winter skills courses



An extremely valuable course to prepare you for tackling the Scottish mountains in winter safely. Ice axe and crampon use, winter navigation, avalanche awareness, emergency survival and winter equipment are all packed in whilst getting up a snowy peak or two. A high level of fitness and previous summer hill walking experience are essential. Courses are two to five days and will normally be held in Torridon, on the Beinn Dearg range or An Teallach.
