Guided Scottish Winter Climbing | Elite Guides

Book your Guided Winter Climbing adventure for the coming season with a Winter Climbing Guide. We are available to guide across Scotland throughout the Scottish Winter climbing and mountaineering season. Based in Fort William, we have Ben Nevis, Glencoe and Creag Mheagaidh on our doorstep. One of our experienced Winter Climbing Guides will be able to help you choose from the huge amount of Winter climbing Ben Nevis has to offer. It is some of the best in the country and is an experience you will never forget. Skye and the Cairngorms are just a short drive away meaning we are in a perfect position to take advantage of the weather and conditions to give you a great winter climbing experience.

Regular requests are classic ridge routes such as Tower Ridge, the Aonach Eagach, Curved Ridge and Ledge Route. Mixed climbing routes in the Northern coires of the Cairngorms or Stob Coire nan Lochan in Glencoe and of course the Classic Ben Nevis ice lines like Point 5, Orion Direct and Hadrian's Wall.

Routes climbed will depend on the conditions on the day but we will always do our very best to provide you with a great day out. An open mind and flexibility is key to enjoying the Scottish Winter Climbing season but the rewards of a great day out are fantastic. We can choose routes based on your experience and coach you along the way so as you can get the best out of your time with us.

Most guiding is done at a maximum ratio of 1:2 but some routes have some flexibility and if you are part of a larger group you can get in touch with us to discuss what might work for you the best.

Kit hire is available at an extra cost if required.
