The landscape surrounding our country house in the Highlands showcases Scottish scenery at its most dramatic. This 3-night holiday is ideal for those looking to discover highland walking for the first time or experienced walkers wanting a short break. Our expert leaders will take you on memorable walks around the glistening shores of Loch Leven and through heather-covered glens where wildlife like stags, red squirrels, otters, osprey, and eagles, are often spotted. There’ll also be a chance to bag a Munro or two - the Scottish term for any mountain over 3,000ft - or explore Glen Nevis’s waterfalls and woodlands, with views of Scotland’s highest peak, Ben Nevis.

Accommodation

HF Country House
For a combination of mountain views, olde-worlde charm, and somewhere comfortable to sleep, this stately Scottish house in North Ballachulish has an enviable setting right on the shores of Loch Leven. The walking opportunities here are as every bit rugged and romantic as you’d expect, especially around Glen Coe, the Mamores, Kinlochleven, Bidean nam Bian, and Ben Nevis – the 1,345-metre-high peak towering above glistening lochans and glacial valleys in the north-west Highlands. You can also spend time in Fort William and ride the Hogwarts-esque Jacobite steam train as it makes its way through beauty spots such as Loch Eil, Glenfinnan, and Arisaig to the fishing port of Mallaig.

Occasionally, we may make adjustments to the route or running order to account for the weather or other practical considerations.

 

To ensure the safety and comfort of all participants, each guided walk has a maximum number of guests. This allows our leaders to provide the best possible experience and ensure everyone’s wellbeing throughout the walk.
