Award Description

This qualification trains and assesses candidates in the skills required to lead walking groups in winter conditions in the mountains. The use of crampons and axes is covered in the scheme. It builds on the skills acquired in the Mountain Leader qualification, which candidates must hold to access the Winter Mountain Leader scheme.

You'll cover all the essential practical skills you need to lead parties in the British hills in winter conditions on this six day course, which is based on the MTS Winter Mountain Leader syllabus.

You'll operate in real mountain terrain in the most severe conditions, so be prepared. The majority of the course is practically based, with our highly experienced instructors taking you on an overnight expedition and night navigation exercise. We'll also back the practical up with some sound theory sessions. All of our staff are dedicated winter mountaineers with a great depth of knowledge of the area and the snow and ice conditions likely to be encountered in The Highlands.

This non-residential course will be delivered from our scenic winter base in Scotland, the Alltshellach hotel in North Ballachulish.
