Winter Skills 3 Days

Stay on for another day after your weekend and learn how to construct emergency snow shelters and discover how to navigate in winter.

Price - £200

Dates available:
23rd - 25th Jan
6th - 8th Feb
20th - 22nd Feb
13th - 15th Mar

Ice axe and crampons can be hired free of charge, but must be booked in advance (see Booking Form).

The cost is for the course only as we find most people on this course wish to arrange their own accommodation, but we normally use the SYHA hostel in Aviemore or at Loch Morlich. There are a multitude of hotels, B & B's, self catering establishments in
and around the area.

If the above dates are not suitable for your winter skills then please phone or email us with your own dates and use the table below to work out the price – the price is for the whole group.
