Scottish Winter Courses
Team Ascent courses are based from Aviemore , Scotland.
We will be running our Scottish winter programme again begining in late December 2007 to April 2008. PLEASE EMAIL US FOR PRIVATE GUIDING
Aviemore is an interesting highland village based in the Cairngorm National Park with a large range of restaurants, Hotels, guest Houses and bed and Breakfast accommodation available.
Its geographical position at the foot of the Cairngorms is ideally placed for winter climbing in the local Cairngorm Mountains which hold some of the best winter climbing crags in Europe if not the world.
Other Scottish winter climbing venues are only a short drive away, Ben Nevis, Glencoe, Torridon and Creag Meagaidh are all within two or three hours drive, which means that we can always find the best winter conditions for your winter course.
Over the years of running these Scottish Winter courses we have established that most people prefer to choose their own accommodation to suit their needs. Therefore all prices shown exclude accommodation and meals. We can of course assist you in arranging the type of accommodation you require so please email us to reqest this service.
