At More than Mountains we want you to get more from your trip to Cumbria and the Lake District. We offer rock climbing, scrambling, guided tours and walks with a Blue Badge tourist guide, navigation courses, multi-activity days and winter mountaineering courses. You can come on one of our advertised dates or we can tailor a day just for you.
We can teach you a new skill, show you some of our favourite parts of the Lake District or perhaps guide you up a walking or climbing route you have always wanted to do. We guarantee enthusiastic, qualified instructors and guides and small group sizes and we specialise in making sure that each and every course and tour are designed and adapted to meet our customers’ needs and goals.
We are passionate about helping our customers get out and about in the Lake District and we do our best to make sure you go away having had lots of fun and inspired to do more. Our contact details are at the bottom of every page – please get in touch if you have any questions, requests or if you would like to make a booking.
There is still PLENTY of snow in the Highlands of Scotland. Looks like we might be still running winter mountaineering courses in June!

More than Mountains Gift Vouchers
If you are looking for a birthday or Christmas present for friends or family why not get them a More than Mountains gift voucher? You can buy a gift voucher for any amount, you can book them on to a specific course or you can leave the choice up to them.
A navigation course is a wonderful present for someone who likes being outdoors in the countryside or up in the hills but is not yet confident enough with a map and compass to find their own way. Learning how to read a map opens up a whole new world to be explored, safe in the knowledge you will be able to find your own way home.
Someone who has done quite a lot of walking in the British hills and mountains might like to try the next stage and go on a scrambling course. Scrambling is part way between walking and climbing and is a great way to have adventures in the Lake District without all of the experience and kit necessary for climbing.
Our rock climbing courses are always popular. There is no better place to learn to rock climb than in the beautiful scenery of the Lake District. We run a wide variety of courses so there is something for everyone. Whether you are nervously contemplating your first climb or you would like to be guided up one of the Lake District’s classic rock climbing routes we can design a course for you.
For families we always recommend our multi-activity days. With three exciting activities packed into one action-filled day these days are perfect for energetic families of all ages. The whole family can get involved rock climbing, abseiling and gorge walking and for many families it is the best day of their holiday to the Lake District.
To book a voucher for any of these courses you just need to email us and let us know the value of the voucher you would like to buy. We will email the voucher to you so it is perfect for those last minute presents too.
