  • 4 Days guiding with a qualified instructor
  • All transport during the course

Price £500

Our typical itinerary:

Day 1 - Arrive in Shieldaig, get settled into accommodation, group meeting in the evening to discuss the following days.

Day 2 - Coire Mhic Fhearchair on the back of Beinne Eighe is one of Scotland's most famous and beautiful corries.  At the back of the coire huge cliffs form what is known as Triple Buttress a well known climbing area.  The coire was also the scene of a tragic Lancaster Bomber crash in 1951 and even today parts of the wreckage can be found.

Day 3 - The views from Slioch are described as the finest in Scotland and its easy to see why with Loch Maree to the south and the mountains of the Fisherfield Forrest to the north there is plenty to see.  Depending on the weather we have an option to start and finish our walk with a canoe trip.

Day 4 - Beinn Alligin is one of the Torridon classics which also includes two Munros, Tom na Gruagaich (922m) and Sgurr Mor (986m).  A full mountain day with spectacular views out to the Isle of Rassay, Skye and Rona.

Day 5 - Ben Damph or mountain of the stag is another stunning walk.  Starting in Scots pine woodland before opening up to fantastic views of Loch Shieldaig and Loch Torridon.  Being the mountain of the stag also means we have a high chance of seeing Red Deer along with many other fantastic species such as Golden Eagle, Mountain Hares and Pine Marten.

Day 6 - Depart

(No hiking experience is required but a good level of fitness required for four days walking.  Walks will take around 6 - 8 hours and some will include steep ascents.)

We can arrange pick ups and drop offs from Inverness, contact us for further details.
