Widen your horizons this winter by taking part in the inaugural Glen Affric WinterFest in February. What better way to shed those winter blues (not to mention those extra post-Christmas pounds), than by learning a new skill; bagging your first winter Munro or simply having a great day out in the snow.

The aim of the WinterFest is to get people out into the Scottish hills, enjoying the exhilarating experience of a winter hill-walking day.

All high and medium level walks are guided by professional qualified mountain guides with Winter Mountain Leader (WML) certificates. They all share a love of the outdoors and an indepth knowldege of the winter mountain environment - it's wildlife, history and geology. Low level walks are guided by rangers with particular knowledge of the local environment, wildlife and flora. If you choose to stay on in the area and want to discover more, then remember that you are not far from the mountains of Kintail, Torridon, Cairngorms or Lochaber. Guides will be available both before and after the WinterFest to hire on a private basis.
