Ski Mountaineering

Scotland offers fantastic Ski Mountaineering, and the last couple of seasons have given us some great conditions. Come and join us as we explore the Scottish Highlands on skis. Courses can include Guiding and/or Instruction and can be tailored to your individual needs. For prices & booking click here.

We can offer 2-day ski-mountaineering inductions to full 5-day experiences. Our courses will take into account your experience, winter skills and ski ability and will depend on weather conditions. We will lead you through a series of exercises that are designed to help you perform in a variety of terrain and snow. We will balance the touring and teaching time and will ensure you not only get to learn new skills but also have the opportunity to practice and develop them. A 5-day course will give you the opportunity to learn and then practice your new techniques. We can cover the following;

Movement on skis  - on mountainous terrain, skiing skills on and off piste, skinning

Technical skills – winter anchors & belaying, avalanche awareness and use of a transceiver

Navigation  - on skis, route choice, route finding
