This fully revised second edition of the classic Scottish Mountaineering Club title is the ultimate guide to the Scottish ski and snowboard experience: short trips on single mountains, longer tours taking in adjacent peaks, multi-day traverses and, for some, the epic Scottish high-level route. You’ll find comprehensive route descriptions and planning information for over 140 tours spanning the length and breadth of Scotland, from the rolling hills of Galloway to craggy western peaks, high arctic plateaux, and the isolated summits of the far north. New additions to classic routes, stunning photography and clear, intuitive maps offer inspiration whether it’s your first outing off-piste, you’re looking to hone your touring skills or you’re an experienced skier seeking bigger challenges.

The adventurous and at times ephemeral nature of ski mountaineering in Scotland makes days out especially memorable. With this guide, you’ll be able to seize every opportunity to travel deep into the wilds and carve fresh tracks in some truly breathtaking landscapes.
