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.

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
