Introduction to Winter Skills
This course is designed to introduce you to the vital winter skills that are needed for winter walking. We will spend a stunning weekend in the wilderness that is the Torridon hills, covering everything from ice axe arrest, emergency shelters and movement on snow to mention just a few.
We only work with small groups with a maximum of one instructor to six and being based in Torridon you are guaranteed the full wilderness Scottish winter experience.
