Why choose Hiking Highs
Hiking Highs’ team of experienced guides all have superb local knowledge, and a story to tell around every corner of the Lake district. By using us, your team will embark of a real ‘journey’ through, over or up the Lakeland Fells. We’ll take the stress out of navigating and have shorter and longer routes up our sleeves to use depending on weather conditions and fitness of the team.
The benefits for your team
Wherever you go, we see every member shine in ways they didn't know they had. Some start to support others, some relate their previous experiences. Others will go quiet, get their head down and be on a total mission to the top. You will find unknown attributes blossom in folk as they head out onto the hills with us. That moment when they realise they ‘really can do it’ is shared by all in the group.

What HH guides offer
All 12 of our Hiking Highs guides love to have fun in the fells, not just being a leader, they will share their knowledge and skills and confidence, the feeling of freedom is truly catching, and we hope your team will feel it too.
Our guarantee to you
All corporate hikes have 2 guides, to fully ensure that everyone can keep moving. If any problems occur within the group, others can continue on, and not feel restricted. This approach works best for corporate groups. Ideally a minimum of 2 guides for up to 12 hikers, a 3rd guide would join us if numbers grew bigger.
Our price are worked out as such that if we have any problem with any person participating, which maybe a situation where they need assistance to to return down off the hill, then our other leaders are still insured to continue the hike on a ratio of 1:10 participants, we feel this is essential on a corporate day out.
We will also endeavour to book a trainee leader to assist at no extra cost too, this means we can give extra confidence to hikers and encouragement to those who maybe struggling in any way at the back of the group, we find this an excellent way to make sure all participants feel amazing and confident and fulfilled by the end of our hikes.

"There are many merits in taking group of managers on a hike in the Lakes. The discussions that can take place both personal and business over a full day in the awesome physical environment of the mountains. Better relationships are struck. We have taken two groups this year and were admirably led by Nicola and her team. She matched the route exactly to what was required. We will use again."

“Hiking Highs lead the walks we have at our residential conferences in Ullswater. The walks are a real highlight of the week. After several hours in a lecture room, delegates love the opportunity to get out into the hills and carry on the conversation in the fresh air and beautiful surroundings of the Lakes. Nics and the team are friendly, professional and adaptable and we know our guests are in safe hands with them.”

"We recently had the pleasure of participating in a Hiking Highs guided corporate group walk that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this outing was expertly organized and designed to benefit not just our physical well-being but also our team dynamics.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly our hike leader, Nicola. Her energy and enthusiasm were infectious! As we set out on the trail, she and her team took the time to engage with each team member, encouraging participation and conversation. Her extensive knowledge of the local flora and fauna added an enriching layer to our experience, making each step more meaningful.
As we reached our destination, the feeling of achievement was palpable. I can confidently say that our Hiking Highs experience was a much-needed break from our usual routine, and it fostered connections that will undoubtedly translate into a more cohesive working environment.
In conclusion, this hiking adventure was a resounding success, thanks to the careful planning and particularly to Nicolas vibrant leadership. I highly recommend this experience to any corporate team looking to boost morale, improve communication, and enjoy a refreshing day outdoors. We are already looking forward to our next adventure!"
