Guided Walking in the Torridon Hills

Spend a week exploring the formidable Torridon Hills on this guided walking holiday. The walking is challenging and you will be tackling some tough munros and peaks, including Liatach. Each evening you will return to comfortable accommodation and delicious home cooking.

The Highlands in Scotland are a hill walkers and outdoor lover’s heaven! With 283 munros (mountains higher than 3,000ft or 914.4 m) to conquer and many lower level walks and lochs to explore as well, there is something for everyone here. The area has a rugged and raw beauty, with the ever changing weather contributing to both a magical yet desolating environment. With few people around, the area is sparsely populated, those in search of solitude will enjoy the peace found watching birds of prey soaring overhead, with little noise or light pollution to distract from mother nature.

The Torridon hills and mountains lie in the north west of the Highlands and are some of the most formidable in the area. With towering crags and steep gullies, scrambling here is not for the faint hearted! The area is formed of six munros, including Liathach, the highest at 1,055m. When not hill-walking, there is the beautiful Glen Torridon to explore with its breathtaking views of the munros and hills, as well as the charming village of Torridon.

Over the course of six days, your experienced guide will lead you on a range of challenging walks and climbs, taking on the challenge of no less than four munros in the Torridon Hills; Slioch, Beinn Alligin, Beinn Eighe and arguably one of Scotland’s toughest and most rewarding peaks, Liatach. The dramatic Beinn Damh may not qualify for munro status, but don’t discard this majestic peak – it makes up in rugged beauty what it lacks in vertical stature. This week of hill walking will leave you memories to last a lifetime, no question, you’ll be back to bag the remaining 279 munros…….

This is a fantastic walking holiday for those on the look out for a challenging week. The walking has been classified as level 3 / 4 which means that the days will be long – between 6 – 8 hours on average per day and may include steep ascents and rough terrain. You don’t need to have previous hill walking experience, but it is advised that you are in good shape and that you do some regular exercise before you come away.

This is a group trip, but there will probably be a maximum of 8 people, so you don’t need to worry about feeling over-crowded. As mentioned earlier, it is worth being at a good level of fitness so that you don’t feel self-conscious.

Equipment wise, make sure that you have comfortable boots and some good quality wet-weather gear. A full list of required kit will be sent to you upon booking.
