Intro Ski Touring - 2 days

#Ski Mountaineering

Our 2 day intro to ski touring skills is aimed at backcountry beginners with existing piste ski skills. You will learn essential techniques and knowledge to get you touring off piste safely. We will always do as much skiing as possible but the mountain ski conditions in Scotland can be changeable at short notice. Due to this, the course content may vary with more emphasis on winter mountain skills and mountain safety.

What's covered

This is a practical course, suited to those who have some ski experience on piste and are looking to venture into the mountains away from resorts. We recommended you have experience skiing red runs on piste or have previous off piste experience.

Typical itinerary

The cost does not include ski touring equipment, but equipment is available for hire from Tisos or  Ellis Brighams in Aviemore.

We use the Aviemore youth hostel as our base during winter. It's also a great place to stay, but here are some alternative local accommodation options.

If the proposed dates don't suit you, we may be able to offer alternative dates, so please get in touch.
