Winter Mountaineering

Guided Winter Ascents

Experience the mountains in winter with professionally guided ascents, carefully chosen routes and support throughout the day.

Winter Mountain Days

Classic winter summits with the guidance to make the most of the conditions.

Winter transforms the mountains. Snow, ice, wind and rapidly changing conditions create a very different environment from summer walking.

Guided winter ascents are ideal if you want to experience the mountains in winter without having to manage every technical and navigational decision yourself.

Routes are chosen around the weather, snowpack, group ability and objectives for the day, with a strong focus on safe movement, good decision-making and an enjoyable mountain experience.

Who Is It For?

Suitable for experienced walkers ready to step into winter.

You don't need to be an expert mountaineer to enjoy a guided winter ascent, but a reasonable level of hill fitness and previous mountain walking experience is recommended.

If your goal is to become more independent in winter rather than simply enjoy a guided ascent, our Winter Skills Packages may be the better option.
