Learn all the skills you need to be able to take yourself out safely for winter hiking in the UK mountains. In the vast Cairngorms National Park, our female Winter Mountain Leader will teach you a variety of skills including how to use an ice axe and crampons, how to assess the weather, and hopefully making snow shelters. There might even be a chance to summit a Munro or two. In the evenings you can relax, enjoy the local area with your new friends or take a quiet walk into Aviemore town.
Summit To Do trips are always women-only and led by women.
