About Us
Ptarmigan Events (formerly Ptarmigan Treks) is a fiercely proud company founded in 2000, often rivaled but never beaten in quality of service and attention to detail. Ptarmigan is proud of its continued reputation of delivering high quality outdoor events with a promise of great customer satisfaction.
Our goal is to deliver that personal touch whatever the occasion no matter the size of event, so you, your clients and supporters couldn’t be in better hands!
Ptarmigan Events was brought about from our own passion of Scotland’s mountains and history… hopefully our enthusiasm of the outdoors will spread to everyone who takes time out to join us… Which we’re sure will bring you back for more!
