James Orpwood Mountaineering

James Orpwood Mountaineering provides guided hill walking (summer and winter), navigation training and winter skills courses in the Highlands of Scotland.

We will plan a fantastic day for you and your group in the spectacular scenery of Scotland’s mountains.

If all this talk of mountains sounds too energetic, we also offer a range of low-level walks exploring some of the glens, forests, rivers and lochs of either the Cairngorms National Park or Highland Perthshire.

These walks are every bit as special as those in the mountains, and offer a great opportunity to spot some of our local wildlife too.

Many of these routes are family friendly and fit conveniently into half a day - perfect if you are on holiday and wish to explore, but don’t know where to start.

We can take you straight to all the best places! James lives with his wife in Aviemore in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park..
