Mountaineering Courses: An overview

Hiking has always been an essential element of many adventura trips, leading our guests on incredible hikes that are only accessible from the river since 1969. Over the years, combining our love for hiking with what we do best—guiding—we’ve established a full series of guided hiking tours.

Walking in the hills can be a daunting prospect if you have never done it before. To stay safe and enjoy your time on the hill you need some basic skills and expertise to guide you on your way.

They aim to equip you with the basic knowledge and safety skills required to participate in hill and mountain walking in your own time.

Mountain Skills – The Mountain Skills course is an ideal choice for walkers interested in transferring their walking skills to more mountainous terrain. Ideally, participants would have some basic hill walking experience and have a reasonable level of fitness.

Climbing – Climbing is one of the fasted growing sports with more people than ever before taking part (indoors and outdoors) on a regular basis. Mountain Training offer a range of training and assessment programmes suitable for people interested in coaching, instructing or supervising climbing.

Three ways to learn Mountaineering

Knowledge & Experience thru Courses or Clubs

Mountaineering, Backpacking, Hiking, offered by local governments, schools, and private outdoor groups. Join an Outdoor Club (Sierra Club, Mountaineers, Hiking Clubs, etc.). These groups provide a fast way to learn proven techniques & make friends who have similar interests.

Get in Shape--Stay in Shape

This is a fun way to Know your physical condition. Not just the « in shape » or « outta shape » question, but how’s your heart–had a checkup lately ? Know as much as possible about your current condition before you even start an exercise program (if not already on one). That knowledge will also minimize potential problems in the backcountry.
