Private Guided Winter Mountaineering Experience in the Cairngorms

2.Private Guided Winter Mountaineering Experience in the Cairngorms

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 1 day (approx.) · from $238

Private guided winter mountaineering in the Cairngorms from Aviemore, with top safety, full gear, and hands-on rope skills.

“Sam is the best guide I’ve ever had in my decades of winter mountaineering. He’s the safest guide I know who continuously assesses risks throughout the day. He is also a fantastic teacher — I’ve learned more from him in one day than with others in a week, from seconding to leading techniques for different situations to avalanche assessment. I’ve climbed with him in the summer and winter and he’s the first guide I would go to for any future trips.”
