PRIVATE GUIDING IN THE WINTER MOUNTAINS

1+ day - you choose the grade
Guide/Client Ratio; Typically 1:6

Aim

This is where you set the dates and you set the agenda, with our guidance and local knowledge of course!

Outline

Whether you just wish to get out on the hills, or have a specific objective in mind; everything is tailored to meeting your needs. Rather than joining a set course, this is a flexible approach to fit in with your timetable and can be of a duration to suit, from one day to multiple days.

As the day is built around you the client, get in touch and we can discuss your private guiding in the Scottish winter mountains. This is ideal if you are visiting on a tight itinerary.

Above the agreed guide/client ratio the pricing structure starts again to cover the additional guide required to ensure the safety of the group. 

Price may vary depending upon the exact nature of your requirement e.g. ferry crossings required etc, but above prices assume a standard full day in the mountains. Get in touch and we can tailor something that works for you!
