Mountain rescue teams have been called to 46 search and rescue incidents over the past two months, police have said.
Some of the call-outs involved people who broke lockdown travel restrictions to get to their destination.
Police said six fixed penalty notices had been issued and six people charged with culpable and reckless conduct.
Four men who travelled in the same vehicle from Midlothian to Crianlarich in Stirlingshire on 16 January were among those who had been charged.
