Winter
Acclimatisation Weekend
This
is a two day course that can either be done in its
own right as a weekend, or before a course to enhance
acclimatisation. In winter you travel on snowshoes,
which makes this acclimatisation suitable for both
skiers and non-skiers. The aim of each day is to
reach summits to advance your acclimatisation.
