Summer Mountain Walking Course

The Scottish highlands have some of the most dramatic sceneries and wilderness setting to be found in Northern Europe, From Lochs, Glens, forest’s and Mountain tops our mountain walking courses are based from two locations, the isle of Skye and Aberfeldy located at the mountainous edge of the South Eastern Highlands. One course offers island classic mountain walking which is unique to Scotland and the other offers unlimited access to hundreds of Munro summits (that’s mountains over 3000ft there’s 284 in Scotland) Our courses are instructional based so we not only introduce you to the highlands of Scotland but show you how to safely get there and back.
There’s no better way to get to know Scotland than participate on one of our courses. We also introduce you to paddle skills as our mainland course spends two days on a combined wild camping paddle and summit expedition.

Cuillin Walker

This course is ideal for those who would like to experience island alpine mountain walking and are keen to tackle the islands 12 Munro summits. Walking to the Summits of the Cuillin ridge not only takes your breath away but summit views are a breath taking experience. This course includes taking in the most inaccessible Munro summit yes you’ve guessed it the famous inaccessible pinnacle, although this is a climb experience the option to climb is open to all course participants.
Only four of the 12 Munro summits are within steep walking grades however, to summit the other 8 Munros
requires some hands on scramble moves, however, with the right approach, coaching and mountain weather all the summits are achievable within a five day period.
The biggest challenge for clients is fitness levels, prior to the course we recommend you tackle some steep hills and spend up 8 hours walking, develop a robust hydration plan for; prior to, during, and post mountain walking trips.
Should the Cuillins become to wet or windy to summit then we walk on other parts of the island.
