WHATEVER YOUR ABILITY OR YOUR AMBITION,
WE HAVE THE PERFECT TRIP FOR YOU
About Us
City Mountaineering is a UK-based adventure company committed to providing a hassle-free and affordable approach to taking people out of the city and into the mountains.
Born out of a passion for the mountains around the British Isles, we at City Mountaineering believe that you don’t have to jump on a flight overseas or take weeks off work to have a genuine mountain adventure; the mountains here on our doorstep are as wild and impressive as any around the world, and with many of our trips taking place over a weekend you often won’t need to take a single day off work!
Why choose us?
With years of experience in exploring the UK mountain landscapes, we specialise in taking the road less travelled, getting off the crowded tourist trails and into the wilderness. Our qualified Mountain Leaders aim to show you the very best of what Britain’s mountains have to offer and to provide you with experiences that you’ll remember for a lifetime.
Escape the City
We know how busy daily life can get and so our aim has always been to make getting into the mountains as easy as possible. With road transfers, accommodation, any technical kit required and qualified guides all included in the price of a trip, and we’ll even book return train travel from your home city so you won’t have to worry about organising a thing!
So, whether you dream of wild camping under Snowdonia skies, cosying up in a Lake District pub after standing on top of Scafell Pike, or challenging yourself on a weeklong expedition across the Cairngorms, we have the trip for you.
All you need to do is choose.
Frequently Asked Questions
We run hiking trips from London to the mountains almost every weekend of the year. We also offer weekday day-trips (including beginner rock-climbing excursions) and weeklong expedition style adventures.
Most of our trips are pre-arranged group trips and so are great for meeting like-minded people. We cap the number of clients on most trips to eight to keep your mountain experience as peaceful as possible.
We can also offer bespoke/tailored private hiking trips for you and your friends. If you’re in need of some one-to-one training for a bigger mountain goal or would simply like to spend some time in the mountains with close friends just drop us an email and we can arrange the rest.
All of our trips are specifically designed to get off the tourist trails and to show people the wildest, most untamed side of the mountains.
The price of all of our trips includes:
- Guided hiking by highly experienced and qualified Mountain Leaders
- Return travel from London
- Accommodation
- All food while on the mountain (generally this means breakfast & lunches for non-wild camping trips, and breakfast, lunches and all camp food when wild camping).
You may be an aspiring mountaineer with a long-term goal to climb Kilimanjaro; you may be a solo adventurer looking to do something a little different and to meet new, like-minded people; or you may simply wish to experience the mountains with the reassurance that a knowledgeable and experienced guide provides.
We cater for everyone, from people who have never set foot on a mountain before to Everest summiteers!
More than anything we want to make the mountains accessible to all and so all of our trips are priced affordably, and we have graded them to suit all levels of fitness
