How About an Active Way to Bring in the New Year?
Looking for an active New Year. Looking for a fresh, invigorating way to end the year and start 2025 on a high note? Our New Year Winter Walking Break from 27th December to 2nd January offers an unforgettable blend of adventure, skill-building, and celebration.
Why Choose This Trip?
This isn’t your typical New Year experience. Say goodbye to overindulging on the sofa and hello to crisp winter air, stunning Highland landscapes, and the camaraderie of like-minded adventurers. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or a beginner, this trip is a unique opportunity to connect with nature and yourself.
- Reconnect with Nature: Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Scottish Highlands during the magical winter season. Explore serene trails, snow-dusted peaks, and dramatic scenery far from the noise of daily life.
- Learn Essential Winter Skills: You’ll gain confidence in the mountains by mastering winter walking safety techniques, including how to use an ice axe, cramponing, and how to arrest a sliding fall. No prior winter walking experience? No problem—we’ve got you covered!
- Relax in Comfort: Forget roughing it—your cozy base at Fraoch Lodge provides a warm, welcoming retreat each night with hearty meals and excellent company.
Celebrate in Style
This trip isn’t all about the trails. Your adventure culminates in the lively street party in Grantown-on-Spey, where you’ll ring in the New Year with music, dancing, and fireworks under the starry Highland skies.
Who’s This For?
This experience is perfect for anyone active who enjoys the mountains and loves the idea of blending adventure with a touch of comfort and community. If you’ve got a passion for the outdoors and want to start 2025 with purpose and excitement, this trip is for you.
