Welcome to Raise

Raise is a mountain located in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. It is situated in the eastern part of the park and is part of the Helvellyn range. The mountain stands at an elevation of 883 meters and is a popular destination for hikers and climbers. The summit of Raise offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including the nearby Helvellyn and the Thirlmere reservoir. The mountain is also home to a variety of wildlife, including red deer, mountain hares, and golden eagles.

The ascent of Raise is a challenging but rewarding experience. The most popular route to the summit is from the village of Glenridding, which takes hikers through the picturesque Grisedale Valley. The climb is steep and rocky, but the views of the valley and the surrounding mountains are breathtaking. The summit of Raise is marked by a cairn, which offers a perfect spot for hikers to rest and take in the stunning views. The descent can be done via the same route or through Sticks Pass, which offers a more gradual descent.

Raise is not only a popular destination for hikers and climbers but also for skiers and snowboarders during the winter months. The mountain is part of the Raise Ski Centre, which offers a range of slopes for all levels of skiers and snowboarders. The ski centre is located on the northern slopes of the mountain and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The centre also has a café and a ski rental shop, making it a perfect destination for a day out with family and friends.
