Setting off at around 7pm on the Saturday night from the Cairngorm Ski Centre Carpark, we will head onto the Cairngorm Plateau. As we do so we will witness the last light of the day and the sun setting at approximately 8pm. As we ascend into darkness, we will use torches and night navigation skills to summit the highest mountain in the Cairngorms, Ben Macdui.

We will make time to appreciate the night skies with opportunities for night photography and, if we’re lucky, to witness the natural phenomenon of noctilucent clouds or even aurora borealis.

Before we head back down to the car park, we will enjoy a cooked breakfast with hot drinks (cooked and brewed by your guide!) This is a great opportunity to have a wee blether and take in the dawn from an elevated mountain setting.
