What Makes This Course Special?

This course is tailor-made for those who want to progress from "following group hikes" to "independent hiking"! It combines indoor theory with outdoor practical sessions, simulating real-life scenarios (low visibility, rain, unexpected delays, teammate injuries) in a safe environment to challenge yourself. Through group interaction and professional guidance, you will learn solid skills and have a great time! Ultimately, you will gain the confidence and ability to handle situations calmly in the wild.

Course Schedule

• Format: 2 indoor theory sessions, 2 single-day outdoor practice sessions, 1 two-day one-night outdoor practice session.
• Eligibility: Participants must be 16 years or older (minors require parental/guardian consent and signature). Open to individuals interested in and with prior hiking experience.

Is This Course Right for Me?

• You should know how to plan a single-day hiking trip, have learned basic wilderness navigation skills, and have at least 3 to 4 wilderness experiences.
• You are familiar with basic single-day hiking equipment and want to delve deeper into technical skills.
• You wish to improve your self-reliance to handle slightly more difficult routes or unexpected situations.

If you have mastered the above, you are likely ready for this challenge. If you feel you have less hiking experience, starting with our Basic Hill Walking Skills Course might be more suitable.
