The Cairngorms
The Cairngorms, located in the Eastern Highlands of Scotland, is a premier destination for winter climbing courses and mountaineering adventures. This iconic region features vast plateaus, lots of choices of snow and ice climbing routes and reliable conditions. From the stunning ridges of Cairn Gorm to the classic climbs in Coire an t-Sneachda and Coire an Lochain, the Cairngorms offer a wealth of opportunities for climbers of all levels. Aviemore, a bustling hub in the Highlands, is the perfect base for exploring this winter environment, with easy access to the Cairngorms’ most renowned climbing and mountaineering locations, often starting at 650 meters above sea level at the Cairngorm Ski Centre, certainly saving time and energy in comparison to days in the West Highlands.
