Background
Mountain Steps UK is built with the knowledge of more than 40 years of combined experience, extensive training, and teaching others to enjoy themselves in a safe and responsible manner.
It’s not our aim for this app to become an all-encompassing guide to every route up every mountain, but to help you learn by it, become independent, and enjoy the mountains as much as we do.

Ratings and Reviews
Worth every penny!
Nominally for people new to the Great Outdoors but this app contains so much extra info ( from club moss to whisky!) that it's worth getting for more experienced walkers too. I used it in the Lakes and Ben Nevis this summer and loved it. Overviews of major routes lead to clear and detailed step-by-step guides that can be reversed from ascent to descent. Nifty (even if in dodgy weather you're not likely to keep looking at your phone). Good to see that 10% goes to Mountain Rescue too: the app has clearly been produced with care and it's worth every penny!
A real gem!
It’s lucky this app has plenty of pictures as it seems some reviewers just can’t read! The content is clearly listed in bullet points and as an inexperienced hill walker it’s just what I was looking for. It has simple advice on clothing and the articles on navigation were so easy to understand. Direct Route up Scaffell Pike was great fun and I can’t wait to try the others. I showed my Dad and he loved the stuff about the plants.
Great value app
Especially good for beginners or those not familiar with the big three UK mountains. Does feel a bit text heavy and 'booky' but its well written. Don't know why ppl complain it's only three mountains - it clearly says that in the description! I'd happily pay more for additional mountains/routes.
