Adventure Taster Sessions

We've always felt that a mountain film festival shouldn't just be about sitting around watching films and hearing lectures about other people's adventures. We're all passionate about the outdoors, so we also want to encourage you to get out there! To help you on your adventurous ways, we are delighted to introduce adventure taster sessions this year.

We've teamed up with some of Edinburgh's best activity centres and groups to give you the chance to try kayaking, rock-climbing, skiing and snowboarding. The dates are:

29-30 Sept - Ski & Board 1
15 October - Ski & Board 2
16 October - Kayaking
17 October - Ski & Board 2
18 October - Rock Climbing 1
19 October - Main Festival Begins!
All October - Rock Climbing 2
