Their Welsh Winter courses are based at home in Plas y Brenin, deep in the heart of Snowdonia's National Park. The mountains are accessible with moderate walks into high North and East facing shady slopes and cwms. Whilst the winters are a little unpredictable the last few years have delivered some excellent snow and ice conditions, ideal for learning essential winter skills. But whatever the weather, their flexible course programme means they can take full advantage of whatever Mother Nature serves up.

Whether you want to walk through peaceful, unspoilt fields and paths or you'd rather scramble up exposed rocky ridges Snowdonia has everything on offer. The towering peaks of North Wales - Tryfan, Snowdon and the surrounding mountains are riddled with technical scrambling and mountaineering challenges whilst North Wales' beautiful lakes and rolling hills below provide a tranquil setting for more relaxing walks and rambles. On their Summer hillwalking and mountaineering courses their highly skilled instructors help you gain all the skills, techniques and, most of all, the confidence you need to travel further in the hills under your own steam.

So whatever you're looking for, from a breathtaking white-knuckle week in the mountains of North Wales or a relaxing week strolling through the We hills of Snowdonia you're sure to find just the thing at Plas y Brenin.
