Guided mountain walks are a great way to explore some of Scotland’s most iconic peaks in the company of experienced and supportive guides. These sociable days are open to all, whether you’re tackling your first Munro or aiming to add to your collection. The centre will match the pace to suit the group and ensure everyone has the chance to enjoy the route safely.
Guided Group Walks
Each guided group walk is led by Jack, a qualified Mountain Leader with decades of experience walking in the Scottish mountains and beyond. Walks are taken at a steady pace with plenty of time for rest, photos, and learning along the way. These group days are ideal for beginners and returning walkers alike. Whether you’re bagging your first Munro or just want to spend time outside with like-minded people, these walks offer a friendly and supportive environment. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and pick up tips on navigation, mountain weather, and movement on rough ground.
Scheduled group walks have included Sgòr Gaoith in the Cairngorms, a high plateau Munro with sweeping views (weather depending!), and Ben Nevis via the classic Glen Nevis route. Another option includes the Summer Solstice Sunrise Walk—an early morning ascent of Ben Nevis aiming to reach the summit for sunrise on the longest day of the year. While there's no guarantee of clear skies, the experience of walking by headtorch in the quiet of the early hours is something special. A full kit list and prep guide is provided ahead of every walk. All current available walks can be booked using the calendar below.
Bespoke Guided Walks
Private guided days are also available for individuals or small groups who want a more tailored experience. These days are ideal for anyone with a specific summit in mind, whether it’s ticking off a favourite Munro, linking up several peaks in one day, or heading to quieter corners of the Highlands. The centre will work with each group to choose a route suited to their pace, fitness level, and the conditions on the day.
Bespoke bookings can also include wild camping, photography-focused days, or early starts to catch sunrise from the hills. These options allow for more flexibility and personalisation, offering a unique day out that matches your goals. To arrange a bespoke walk, please contact the centre via the adventuro chat below.
Walks take place in a variety of well-known mountain areas, including the Cairngorms, Lochaber, Glencoe and the Mamores. Each location has its own character, from the wild plateaus and ancient pinewoods of Glen Feshie to the towering presence of Ben Nevis. Routes are chosen carefully to balance terrain, weather and group ability, offering rewarding walks without unnecessary pressure.
Every walk begins with a clear meeting point and briefing. You’ll receive all necessary information in advance including where to meet, what kit to bring, and what to expect from the weather. If you're not sure what mountain or region you’d like to explore, the centre is happy to make recommendations based on your interests.
No prior mountain experience is needed for group walks, but a base level of fitness is required as days are typically 6–8 hours. Routes are chosen with accessibility in mind, and support is provided throughout.
Bespoke walks can be adapted for complete beginners or those looking for something more physically challenging. Please contact us if you're unsure what level would suit you best.
This centre is run by Jack and Lindsay, a husband-and-wife team who believe mountain days should be enjoyable, achievable, and genuinely welcoming. Their approach is pragmatic and people-focused—there’s no pressure to hit a certain pace or tick off a fixed number of summits. Instead, each walk is shaped by the goals, interests, and experience level of the individuals or group involved. Whether you’re new to hiking or building on existing skills, you’ll be supported in a way that feels encouraging and down-to-earth.
Jack is a qualified Mountain Leader who’s been walking in the hills since childhood, and his knowledge of Scottish terrain, weather, and plant life brings depth to every trip. Lindsay, who is working toward her own Mountain Leader qualification, brings strong teaching experience from her work in veterinary education and is passionate about helping people feel confident in the outdoors. Together, they’ve created a centre that values accessibility, safety, and good conversation just as much as reaching the summit.
