walking

No experience necessary - just a sense of adventure

 

 

Skye is a walkers paradise. From family walks on the spectacular coastline to dramatic scrambles in the Cuillin mountains, the most challenging in Britain, the island provides fantastic walking for everyone.

Trotternish is one of the most magnificent landscape in Britain. The coastline is equally spectacular, bristling with stacks and pinnacles, its hidden features revealed only by walking.

 

Trotternish Ridge Walk

The Trotternish Ridge Walk is a unique 20-mile high-level walk which involves no climbing or scrambling, yet which takes you into wild and primeval landscapes, and at every stage affords panoramic views that embrace the Cuillins, the Western Isles, and the mountains of Wester Ross.

Although no climbing skills are needed, the full ridge walk should only be undertaken by experienced and fully-equipped hill-walkers who have a map and guide book. Two days should be allowed for the full walk, and the weather reports closely studied. Mist can often descend rapidly, reducing visibility to effectively zero.
