Ski mountaineering & touring in Scotland has become a hugely popular activity, it is perhaps the most satisfying and efficient way of exploring and travelling through the mountains around Aviemore, the Cairngorms & across Scotland.
Our ski mountaineering & touring days are based from Aviemore and our 2 & 4 day courses from the Cairngorms Adventure Centre Newtonmore (accommodation included). We will ski mainly in the Cairngorm mountains which are Scotland’s finest ski touring mountains but should conditions be favourable, we may also visit Creag Meagaidh or the Monadhliath mountains. During the 4 day course there may be scope for an overnight expedition.
