GET READY FOR WINTER

The winter hills are places of challenge, risk, beauty and fun. We’ve teamed up with Scotland’s National Outdoor Training Centre, Glenmore Lodge, for this 17-page beginners’ guide to the finest season

WINTER IN THE mountains: there’s nothing quite like it. A landscape made strange and new by snow and ice; weather that morphs from drifting snow-globe flakes to blizzard in minutes. Excitement, exhaustion, the sound of crampons on névé and the wind in your hood… and extra chocolate. There’s no doubt: Britain’s winter mountains provide a unique and varied landscape in which to explore and learn.

There are extra challenges involved, and we don’t just mean just setting the alarm early. In this guide, we’ve teamed up with the experts at Glenmore Lodge to help you navigate the coldest time of year. So if you’re wondering about how to get started, we’ve got you covered.
