The leading provider of activity holidays and courses in the Highlands of Scotland is continuing its winter season with a range of mountaineering courses.
(TRAVPR.COM) SCOTLAND - January 5th, 2016 - Unexplored Scotland, the leading provider of activity holidays and courses, is continuing its winter season by announcing dates for a number of winter mountain courses in the Highlands of Scotland. Some of its new courses include its 5 Day Winter Mountaineering Course, its Ben Nevis in Winter excursion and its Cairngorm Walking in Winter package. Each of these excursions is available throughout January, February and March, ensuring the opportunity to everyone passionate about outdoor pursuits to enjoy the thrill of the stunning Scottish landscape at its best.
All courses are led by a trained and experienced instructor, with the number of participants on each course limited in order to ensure the enjoyment of each one. Each course covers a variety of content and allows participants to explore a different part of the Scottish countryside. The vast majority of equipment is provided for each course, although most courses require a good level of fitness and possibly some experience as a summer hill walker.
“There is a range of exciting hill walking and mountaineering courses lined up for our customers throughout the winter season,” stated Andreas Heinzl, owner of Unexplored Scotland, “These are perfect for anyone looking to explore these beautiful landscapes in an unusual way and also learn some practical skills that they will be able to use for many years to come. Winter is one of the most beautiful seasons to experience in Scotland, and all visitors are sure to make many incredible memories during their time here.”
Unexplored Scotland’s 5 Day Winter Mountaineering Course in Scotland is proving to be particularly popular so far, with many dates announced in the coming months. Courses run every weekend, and are available from only £395 per person. The team at Unexplored Scotland says that its 5 day course goes much further than the 2 day course that the company runs, enabling each participant to become a proficient winter mountaineer in the Scottish hills. Based in the Cairngorms near Aviemore, each course participant will learn how to walk on hard packed neve snow and build confidence to walk on steeper ground. Other material covered includes when and how to walk with crampons and how to use an ice axe to cut steps.
Although Unexplored Scotland is well known for its winter mountaineering skills courses, the company also provides a range of other activity breaks and training programmes. These include activities such as sea kayaking, hillwalking, river kayaking and much more. There are several fixed courses, but clients of the company can also choose to organise their own bespoke activity break or course by contacting the team at Unexplored Scotland by telephone or via the company website.
