Le Leader des collines et des landes Award is a nationally recognised qualification designed for those who wish to lead groups on day walks in the hills and moorland areas of the UK and Ireland. It is ideal for individuals who want to share their passion for the outdoors by safely guiding others through upland terrain that is generally away from steep or rocky ground.

It is administered by Formation en montagne, the official body responsible for overseeing walking, climbing, and mountaineering qualifications across the UK and Ireland. The Hill and Moorland Leader Award provides candidates with the skills and confidence to deliver enjoyable and safe hillwalking experiences in non-mountainous upland areas.
