An escape from the Lötschenpass hut – 9th March 2023

Accessed by from the Lötschental in the Swiss Valais, an atmospheric place for a hut and to travel from as the sun appeared out of the whiteout. Great to see some mountains!

An intro to ski-touring in the Cairngorms – 5th February 2023

Based out of Aviemore in the Highlands, we were able to use the Cairngorm Mountain ski area to help with our approach to the summit of Cairngorm itself. From here there are a number of great slopes for skiing ‘over the back’, and ski-touring back up again.

Pointe Ronde ski-tour – 27th January 2023

To end a fine week with the Eagle Ski Club, benefiting from great weather and conditions, we were able to top the trip with an ascent of the Pointe Ronde, a great ski-touring summit that gives great views of the Valais Alps and the Mont Blanc massif, as well as still plenty of powder for the descent.

Winter returns to the Cairngorms – 15th January 2023

A weekend of improving ski-touring skills, heading up Cairngorm itself and into the Northern Corries. It was a wintry weekend with much new snow coming in and wind. Good for focusing on the transitions between ski and touring mode, and great to be able to ski down to the car park.
