When our trips are running we are on call from 8am to 8pm in the UK (9am to 9pm in the Alps). Please email or call us in the normal ways. Often email is best, to info@alpineexploratory.com or to your contact person. Please see the Key Notes in your folder for further details. Thank you.

We are a small team working in our office in Edinburgh, UK. We moved to Edinburgh in 2015 from Settle in the Yorkshire Dales, where latterly we had a shop on the market place.

How to reach us
We are a 5-minute walk from Edinburgh's main station, Waverley. There are direct trains from London King's Cross, Glasgow (Central and Queen Street) and Manchester Piccadilly. Walk West along Princes Street, take the second right up Hanover Street and then the first left on Rose Street... and immediately right again into Rose Street North Lane, just before the Robertson's bar. Find us at number 34.

If coming from Edinburgh airport, take the airport express bus 100 to its final stop (Waverley Bridge) and walk up to Princes Street, turn left on Princes Street and then right up Hanover Street. Or, take the tram from the airport to the Princes Street stop. Edinburgh has direct flights from the US, Canada, other UK cities and the whole of Europe.

Local walking
The West Highland Way starts in Milngavie, which is a train ride from Edinburgh Waverley. While Glasgow and its airport are generally easier for the West coast of Scotland including both the West Highland Way and the Affric Kintail Way, plus flights to Barra for the Hebridean Way, Edinburgh is a delightfully simple and also a better-connected airport worldwide.

Please call in to say hello, and we'll give you a tea or coffee!

Outdoor equipment
Edinburgh is a decent place to buy outdoor gear. Almost opposite the Alpine Exploratory office is a branch of Cotswold Outdoors, a chain of gear shops in the UK. Along Rose Street is Tiso over 4 floors, and around the corner on Frederick Street is The North Face.
