The Cairngorm National Park is a little piece of Arctic plateau and contains many of the highest mountains in the Highlands. The area is full of fascinating geology and history and is home to many rare plant and animal species. Explore the Cairngorms with us and we'll safely guide you to its highest summits and secret corners. We'll select a route that will be challenging but achievable and is big on scenery and satisfaction!
This experience is suitable for novices, travellers or anyone looking for a special experience in the local area. No prior experience of mountain walking or hiking is necessary and you'll be kept safe and encouraged every step of the way.
Our guides hold the highest attainable qualifications in mountain leadership and are passionate about giving you the best possible experience. We are as excited guided complete beginners as we are guiding experienced hikers and we enjoy working with both the young and the young at heart.
We look forward to exploring with you!

What to expect
This mountain walking experience begins by meeting and getting to know your guide. The Cairngorms have high mountains, dramatic cliffs and secret corners. We'll advise on a route that suits your experience and group and will always give you several options.
We'll need to make a short drive to our start point, but will soon be stepping away from the crowds and into the famous Highland wilderness. With luck we'll spot some of the rare creatures and plants that call this stark, beautiful landscape home. Look out for Eagles, Mountain hares, Ptarmigan and even Reindeer!
Our mountain experience might take us into a deep glacial bowl to search for climbers amongst the cliffs, onto an airy ridge line, into a valley to spy a secret lake and hidden cave or onto a high and haunted mountain top. You choose! Wherever we go, your guide will have plenty to show you and there'll be lots of photo opportunities.
Before we make our way back home, we'll make sure to get a team photo on the summit... and maybe share a traditional dram of whisky too!
