4th January 2017

It's been a mixed start to winter this season with promising cold spells followed by unseasonably warm weather. Conditions have been building and improving in the mountains fortunatelty, and we've had a number of teams out enjoying themselves.

After a thaw/ freeze yesterday the snow is really firm underfoot, creating good conditions for our two winter skills, two winter climbing and winter walking week courses who are out.

Most teams have been in and around the northern corries of the Cairngorms, but Ross and hill walking team ascended Ben Nevis today.

Here are a few photos of the teams and how conditions look.

Winter courses

Terrific, attentive and caring team with great customer service I'm writing a review in March 2020 in the midst of the covid19. I had booked a course right at the time that the pandemic was getting worse and unfortunately had to cancel my trip with Cairngorms Adventure Guides. The Caringorms team were very helpful and accommodating at this time when so many other tour/transport companies were being difficult about their T&Cs. I can't thank them enough of how understanding they were to my particular situation. The customer service team were thoughtful and attentive and this can only reflect that their guides/teachers and company as a whole share the same ethos. I've since then changed my booking for February 2021 and cannot wait to attend!
