The Torridon mountains are amongst the most beautiful ranges in the world, seemingly rising from the Atlantic, the rocky peaks and airy ridges are home to a wide variety of wild life and offer a wonderful playground for the walker.
This 7-night independent trekking holiday follows a long distance circular way around these mountains giving magnificent views of both sea and hill and a chance to get away from the crowds.

The route enjoys a different terrain each day - Atlantic coast, mountain pass, Glen and Freshwater Loch making this long distance walk something special! The way is 103 kms altogether and whilst the routes each day do not go high, the going can be rough and wet underfoot. However the scenery is stunning, the air is clean with peace and quiet guaranteed!

| The routes generally follow old stalkers or drovers paths, but are not way-marked. Walking is intermediate graded and covers between 10-20K daily. Please note, it is unsafe for people to walk alone in such a wilderness area and we cannot take single people on our self guided holidays. | ![]() |
All accommodation with breakfast in the remote villages on the route is booked for you, luggage is transferred each day and maps and route details supplied along with local information and advice as to where to buy lunch and dinner en route. Emergency back up is also available if needed.
