Small-group day trip from Inverness to Clava Cairns, Cawdor Castle, Loch Garten, Aviemore, Loch Morlich and Rothiemurchus.
“Sonia was an absolute gem of a guide!!! She was very knowledgeable, gave us all great insight on our future travel plans, and made sure everyone on our tour got enjoyment out of it. It was a perfect day!”
A private guided mountain walk in the Cairngorms from Aviemore, with route choices, wildlife spotting, and a summit whisky taste.
“We had the pleasure of going on a guided hike with Simon. We had an absolute blast, and very much appreciated Simon's experience and proactiveness of planning out several suitable routes for the rainy weather. The hike had incredible views, and we were able to take some breaks for some photos to remember the trip by (thanks for your patience Si!). All in all, the trip was fantastic and if we ever come back to Scotland we will be booking again and recommending to our family and friends!!”
A private winter mountaineering day in the Cairngorms from Aviemore, with top safety gear, rope coaching, and guided ice work in Scotland.
“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.”
Private guided rock climbing in the Cairngorms near Aviemore, with rope-work lessons, abseils, and route choices for your group.
“Our guide, Andy was great. We had to move to a different location due to unforeseen circumstances, but Andy had an alternative plan fortunately.”
Private guided ridge scrambling in the Cairngorms near Aviemore. Harness, helmet, rope-led climbing, safety gear, and stunning views.
“Kevin was a fantastic guide, he lead us up some excellent routes, some quite challenging but very satisfying”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
