Winter Mountaineering
More than Mountains will be based in Aviemore, Scotland for the much of the winter season offering winter skills, winter mountaineering and snow and ice climbing. The easily accessible Cairngorm mountains offer reliable conditions to get out with ice axes and crampons to bag a snowy Munro or climb a classic icy gully. A day out with More than Mountains will give you the skills and confidence to take your winter walking and mountaineering further.
If we are lucky enough to get snow in the Lake District again this year then we will run courses in the Lakes too.
Look out for some last minute deals.
Personalised Winter Mountaineering Courses
You can book us for any number of days and we
will design the course exactly to your needs.
We can teach you to use crampons and ice axe for the first time or if you have a bit more experience we can teach you to lead climb in winter conditions. Or if you just want to go out and get as much scrambling or climbing done as possible we can guide you up some classic routes.
The following three courses are just some ideas of how you might like to spend your time in Scotland but if you want to do something different just let us know.
All courses are £180/day split between the participants.
