  • Self-catering accommodation in a bunk house is £15 per person per night.
  • Bed and breakfast accommodation is £35 per person per night.
  • Hotel bed and breakfast accommodation is £50 per person per night.

For more information and advice on what type of course is most suited to you, the exact content of a course, the equipment you need or help in finding accommodation do not hesitate to get in touch. We would rather spend the time giving you all the information you need prior to any booking being made, rather than you arriving expecting something different to what we can provide.

Mountain sports are heavily influenced by the weather and your course structure may be dictated by the current conditions. The decisions made by your instructor will be based on what you have done in the past, what you want to do now, the weather and conditions on the day. Sometimes it is the weather that dictates where you go, other times you have the full choice and you can go anywhere you want.
