The Mountain Skills course is an ideal choice for people interested in exploring mountainous terrain and wanting to develop their confidence in the mountains.
It’s a great way to learn the essential skills you will need to enjoy the mountains in the UK safely. Whether you’d like to feel more confident using a map or you have ambitions to climb Everest, the Mountain Skills course is a great first step.
Delivered by our qualified and experienced mountain professionals, the course is nationally accredited and developed with Mountain Training, the awarding body for qualifications in walking, climbing and mountaineering. Our experienced instructors will share their knowledge with you and answer any questions you have about exploring the hills and mountains of the UK.
Each day begins with a short ‘classroom’ session over breakfast at the famous Moel Siabod cafe in Capel Curig in the heart of Snowdonia. The group will discuss the plan for the day, look at the weather forecast and talk about clothing and equipment before heading out to continue the learning in the local mountains. The day finishes with cake back at the cafe whilst the group recaps their learning.
Public courses take place throughout the year or if there’s three or more of you in your party you can pick your own date. Book online using the live availability checker or contact us to find out more.
