In winter conditions, Skye is the place to be - lots to go at on the hill!  As is usual in winter we need to be flexible, but the itinerary below would be the ideal programme.

Day 1 – Meet at the Outdoor Base and drive north to Skye Basecamp in Broadford. We will stop at Fort William on the way up.

Day 2 – Bruach na Frithe 13.5km with 950 metres of ascent.  A nice intro to the Skye Cuillin.

Day 3 – Blaven 8km with 990 metres of ascent.  A classic Cuillin outlier with great views over the main ridge.

Day 4 – Marsco 8.8km with 710 metres of ascent.  A smaller hill which feels right in the heart of the mountains.

The instructor team will be staying at Skye Basecamp hostel in Broadford.  Participants need to arrange their own accommodation in the Broadford area.  Transport and any equipment needed are included in the course fee.  Participants with alternative travel/accommodation arrangements will need to meet the instructors in Broadford each morning of the mountaineering days.

Previous winter walking experience, or completion of a recent winter skills course, is an essential prerequisite for this trip
