View Courses BelowWalking in the hills can be a daunting prospect if you have never done it before. To stay safe and enjoy your time in the hills and mountains you need some good foundation skills and some expertise to guide you on your way.
Pro Venture ‘Hill & Mountain Skills’ courses are designed to teach you the basics, progress you forward towards greater independence and even support you through into roped up scrambling or the winter mountains. Our aim therefore is to impart the knowledge and know-how to equip you with the tools and safety skills required to participate in all the aspects of hill and mountain walking in your own time.
Our courses offer a form of progression and the Mountain Skills course is a clear progression from the Hill Skills course so a requirement that you have some experience of hill walking prior to attending the courses may be ideal.
