Telemark Skiing in Scotland

Telemark skiing is the traditional way that Norwegians get from A to B in winter.

Why do people do it? It's a new challenge, it's different, it's fun and it's highly addictive. It's also a great way to go ski mountaineering, seeking out new pistes and back of beyond bowls. No crowds and no noise and you get to ski on snow that no-one else has skied on!

Where to go:

Anywhere there is snow and hills! It is amazing how little snow you need to ski, especially if the hills are grassy, but for premium ski conditions you simply cannot beat skiing in the Cairngorms.

The hills are that bit higher and being inland tend to weather out sudden thaws, retaining snow into April or May when western hills are snow free. There are superb touring conditions to be had during even the leanest of winters and the ski centres are always on hand should you prefer to hone your skills on piste.
