Talisman YOUR local Cairngorm Guides, provides guided glen & mountain walking all year round. In winter, we run mountaineering, winter walking skills & winter climbing courses - from snowholing to ice climbing. Summer is the time for hillwalking, scrambling, rock climbing & abseiling and heading for the Alps.

For well over 25 years we've been living near Aviemore amidst the beautiful scenery of the Cairngorms National Park. This fascinating area provides us with a spectacular backdrop for many of our our courses and activity holidays.
