Training Events

This page lists future training events in the UK and further afield.

The Club encourages members to develop skills and experience necessary to progress to safe independent touring. To help develop the skills needed for safe and enjoyable touring, we offer a range of training courses both in the UK and abroad. These are intended not just for novices, but also to provide continuous development for more experienced tourers. Some courses are directly subsidised by the club, while awards are available (mainly targeting members under 35), to cover some of the costs of others. The annual Club touring programme and Scottish meets programme include a wide range of training courses, including introduction to ski touring and development of off-piste skiing skiils.

You must be a club member and logged in to the website to see the full details of each training event (itinerary, cost, contact details of the organiser, etc). Please log in here: log in

Training events are also promoted through our newsletter and social media channels, particularly our Facebook page for members. In addition to training courses and events, we also have training videos and resources available on our Training Videos and Resources page.

Club members are also eligible for the full range of subsidised Mountaineering Scotland courses that cover navigation, winter skills, avalanche awareness and snowsports touring.
