Mountaineering and winter walking in Scotland

Scotland's hills can change dramatically from one season to the next, and nowhere is this change more evident than in winter, when summer hills become winter mountains, and hill walkers find they have to learn the more technical skills of winter walking and mountaineering if they are to survive. This makes it more important than ever that, if you are to venture onto the mountains in Scotland in winter, you should only do so in the company of an experienced (and qualified) mountaineer, or with the right skills yourself. The companies listed below can help you get into the winter hills by organising guided walks and / or winter skills training to a high standard of professionalism. Give them a call - the joys of a clear day on the high tops in winter are hard to beat!
