Adventure Scotland - brought to you by Scotland's National Tourism Organisation

Picture the scene: great company, fantastic mountain days, panoramic views of one of the most beautiful places in the world. With Mountain Innovations, a walking holiday is this and much more.

Based in Aviemore and the Cairngorms - it's a veritable adventure playground.

Come the end of the mountain day we don't abandon you at your accommodation until the next morning. We provide for you throughout your stay. After a fantastic day you arrive back to a roaring fire, a welcoming mug of tea and a good craic. And let's not forget Rebecca's home baking and fantastic evening meals.

This, the shared camaraderie of a like-minded group, and the totally informal atmosphere make for a brilliant holiday. We're owner run - we can't be beat!

What we do best:

Winter Skills Courses - Snow and ice in Scotland is as varies and as changeable as the weather. You need to recognise its varying types, know how to evaluate avalanche hazard and cross snow and ice covered slopes safely and efficiently.

White-outs - be sure your navigation skills can deal with the worst of winter conditions.
