Happy New Year! (Winter Climbing Cairngorms & Avalanche Training)

3rd January 2018

Snowy in the Cairngorms

We hope you had a great festive period and are now psyched for getting out into the mountains. It's been cold and snowy in the mountains for last week or so now, with lots of snow falling on the west coast.

Over here in the east we've had various teams out for winter skills, avalanche training  and winter climbing. Today was the start of our five day winter skills course. They enjoyed a cracking day in the hills.

We've got lots on over the next few months. Please get in touch if you'd like to join one of our courses or to get out in the hills.

A must do if visiting Aviemore My wife and i wanted to hike up' 'Ben Macdui' Scotlands second highest mountain. We contacted 'Cairngorm adventure guides' who were brilliant, easy to deal with, professional and promt. Our guide Emma didn't just get us to the summit but gave us lot's of local information on the area, and on hiking in the mountains in general. The walk is a couple of hours (we're 58 & 60 years old) with a few stops to take in the the stunning scenery and take photo's. As well as being constantly informative, Emma was also professional and considerate, offering us options for various descents, given the weather conditions and time. The weather changed, as would be expected, in the Scottish highlands, constantly, this only enhanced the overall experience and satisfaction of completing the hike. All in all, if you're looking for a memorable experience in the Scottish highlands, DO THIS!
