Trip Description

What better way to explore the true beauty and nature of the Highlands. With enough time to discover the high regions and summits of the North West Highlands you'll feel like you've been away for longer than just five days. Escape from the stresses of the rat race and experience the captivating mix of ancient mountains dissected by deep sea lochs, the elusive Golden Eagles, mountain days full of discovery and fantastic Highland hospitality.  

Over the course of five days we'll have access to the mountains of Torridon, Kintail, Fisherfield and the Isle of Skye. Our plans will be formed by the group, depending on which Munro summits you wish to pursue. You should be fit and able to tackle five consecutive days on the hill. You’ll be accommodated at Caol Mhor guest house, if you opt for the full board price, and will be looked after by Rhona and Gerry, who are keen hillwalkers themselves so you’ll have an understanding ear when your feet are sore!

Home cooking, lots of local knowledge and a warm welcome awaits.
