Susi and the team were excellent. The facilities and location for our very first time on SUPs were great. We had a blast!
If you're ready to transition from hillwalking in the warmer months to the exciting world of winter mountaineering, then this course is tailor-made for you. Operating during the enchanting autumn season, from October to November, just before winter blankets the landscape in December, this course offers an excellent opportunity to acquire essential skills for winter mountaineering in Scotland.
Throughout the course, our guides will focus on the following key areas:
Set against the backdrop of late autumn in the Scottish mountains, this course promises an unforgettable experience. October graces us with bright skies, often dry weather, and the first frosts. The stunning, vibrant autumn colors and the resonating call of rutting stags in the Glens create an enchanting atmosphere as nature prepares for winter.
The exact location for this course may vary depending on the weather. However, our primary objective is to conquer one of the awe-inspiring mountains in the Glen Coe and Black Mount region. These locations offer a challenging yet rewarding terrain for your winter mountaineering journey.
We will meet at 6.30am at Ingliston Park and Ride, EH28 8LS, by Edinburgh Airport. There is an additional option to meet at Wallyford Park and Ride, EH21 8BU at 6am – please let us know when you book if this is preferable.
No prior experience in winter mountaineering is required, making this course suitable for beginners. However, participants should have a moderate level of fitness and be prepared for a day of physical activity in potentially challenging conditions.
