About Wandering Workshops
Where are we?

What happens on the workshops?
Wandering Workshops are based in Aviemore, in the Cairngorms National Park and right next to Cairngorm Mountain Ski Area. Our snow tours are suitable for good skiers and snowboarders but no prior touring experience is needed, however, group members must have their own equipment. Tour locations are dependent on the snow and weather conditions.

Over the days, the group will learn the basics of avalanche and mountain safety, be part of the tour planning process and experience two different touring routes. Photography coaching happens throughout the workshops plus yoga and meditation sessions are offered daily. A shared meaning-making and storytelling session will bring the workshop to a close on the Sunday evening.
