Strap on your hiking backpack and head out into the moody landscape of Scotland. Walking a long-distance route is always something special; a beautiful surrounding is vital because you will be spending most of the time outdoors. The Scottish Highlands radiates a truly unique atmosphere, which you can enjoy on the popular West Highland Way. Bag some Munros, one after the other and pitch your tent wherever you want, to plan your active breaks to your liking.

Islay of Skye is a popular destination for hikers and mountaineers. The Skye Trail is a 5-7 day, absolutely magnificent tour through the Scottish Highlands. The route follows the Trotternish Ridge, past the Quiraing and the coastal cliffs on the Islay of Skye. A medium, beautiful, scenic and mostly foggy hike awaits you in Islay of Skye. I thought the tour was marvellous. Chapeau!

Von der Küstenstadt Fort William durch unterschiedliche Landschaften nach Corrour, dem höchsten Bahnhof von Großbritannien.
Das malerische Glen Nevis wird immer schmaler und schließlich zu einer Schlucht, an dessen Ende ein gigantischer Wasserfall wartet. Anschließend wird es flacher, aber keinesfalls langweilig und die Anzahl der Wanderer nimmt ab. Weitere Highlights sind das Loch Ossian und der einsame Bahnhof Corrour. Es bestehen Möglichkeiten für Abstecher und Fortführungen der Tour.
