Planning a mountaineering adventure to the Alps or some other exotic mountain destination? Then head out to the United Kingdom first for some Alpine training across multiple locations!
From Scotland’s Cairngorms to the lovely English Lake District and stunning Snowdonia in Wales, we can head out to any of these spectacular locations to build up your skill set and make some excellent ascents.
Each of these three spots is a veritable playground for climbing and we’re sure to have a blast wherever we go.
Depending on your skills, how long you have to spend climbing and your preferences, we will tailor the perfect itinerary that best prepares you for your next trip.
These are just a few of the things we’ll try to go over during our time together:
General rope maintenance, taking rope coils and rope work
Body belays, selecting and using direct belays
Rock protection
Route finding and navigation
Descending and abseiling
How to prusik
Crevasse rescue training
Ice axe and crampon techniques (only available during the winter)
So what are you waiting for? Book now for an informative and intense 1+ day Alpine training experience in Scotland’s Cairngorms, England’s Lake District or Snowdonia in Wales!
If you like the look of this trip then I think you will also enjoy my 4-day scrambling traverse of Cuillin Ridge on the Isle of Skye!

Had a great day out with my instructor Paul who was very helpful in introducing me to trad climbing and getting me to be very comfortable on the rocks. We did six 1-pitch climbs and one multi-pitch climb while enjoying the phenomenal view of Langdale amongst many Herdwick sheeps. Would have extended the experience if I had more time and definitely would do it again.
