Highlights
Winter mountaineering is an exhilarating and hands-on way to experience the Cairngorm mountains. Unlike winter climbing, mountaineering is about the journey. We'll select a route that will be challenging but achievable and is big on scenery and satisfaction! On this immersive experience you'll get to climb one or more historic mountaineering routes; in a remote corrie, along an airy ridge or up sheer cliff face! This experience is suitable for novices, beginners and travellers looking for a special experience in the local area. No prior experience of climbing or mountaineering is necessary and you'll be kept safe and encouraged every step of the way. Our guides hold the highest attainable qualifications in mountaineering and climbing and are passionate about giving you the best possible experience. We love guiding complete beginners as much as we love guiding experienced climbers. We enjoy working with both the young and the young at heart... We look forward to exploring with you!

About Aviemore
Aviemore is a Highland resort in the Cairngorms National Park, with pine forests, lochs, a steam railway and the high Cairngorm plateau close by.
Aviemore lies in Strathspey, in the Cairngorms National Park, the largest national park in Britain. It grew up as a railway town and is now the main base for walking, skiing and wildlife in the Cairngorms. A heritage steam railway runs from the town, and nearby Loch Morlich has a sandy beach and a forest of Scots pine around it.
