Why not give someone you know a Christmas activity gift voucher?
This video was filmed on the 12th December 2019 so there is ICE and SNOW in the Cairngorm's!
Winter skills, snow-holing, guided winter climbing, ice climbing taster days and much much more can all be arranged from £120 per day, each for two people.
For the ice climbing you'll need to have done previous winter skills and be hill fit!
