Ski Touring Scotland

Ski Touring & Backcountry Skiing in Scotland

Scotland is one of ski touring’s best-kept secrets. On a good day, you can carve perfect turns on untracked snow, surrounded by dramatic Highland scenery, and with no crowds in sight.

 

These days can be tailored to all experience levels, including beginner ski tourers. We’ll cover everything from avalanche safety and route planning to efficient uphill skinning technique. At the end, you’ll be able to safely explore Scotland’s mountains independently.

 

Our courses are small, personal, and expertly led by fully qualified, insured instructors with years of experience in Scottish winter mountaineering. This means you get plenty of individual attention while learning vital skills.

  • Qualified & experienced instructors

  • Low guiding ratio for safety and personal coaching

  • Fully insured and risk-assessed

  • All technical equipment provided

  • Photos & videos of your epic day included

 

Backcountry skiing requires flexibility, local knowledge, and expert decision making - and that’s exactly what we bring to every trip.

Client Testimonial

 

 

What can I say!  Connor answered an SOS after we were let down by someone else. From the off, the communications were first class- prompt replies, very helpful responses and useful information prior to our holiday. We had Josh, James and Connor himself and we were able to climb, explore and abseil 6 of the Skye Cuillins. The team were very knowledgeable, skilled and professional and we felt safe 100% of the time. We will definitely be booking with Connor again and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to explore Skye.
