Winter returns to the Cairngorms (phew!) #winterskills #cairngorms

5th February 2017

After what has been a fairly warm and not that snowy January, it's good to see winter taking a hold of the mountains again. This weekend the temperature has really come down and we've had lots of fresh snowfall. The forecast this week coming is looking cold and snowy too!

We made the most of the dry (sometimes wet) and warm conditions of January, delivering lots of excellent walking, climbing and mountaineering courses. We had to reschedule and cancel a number of ski touirng courses unfortunately. It's times like these we're grateful for having experienced guides with extensive local knowledge.

Here are some photos of the last week or so. Regular photos are posted on our Facebook page.

Winter courses

An absolutely amazing mountaineering course, I couldn’t recommend highly enough. From the outset Dave took an interest in the skills we wanted to achieve and the capability of the group and tailored the course to us. We were provided with expert training and advice at every step. This was a challenging week of mountaineering that fit in as much learning and experience as we could fit into 5 days. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in Mountaineering or sharpening the skills they already have. Massive thank you to Cairngorm adventure guides.
