From September 2026, we have expanded our walking grade scale from 6 to 10 points. While the holidays themselves have not changed (the routes, daily distances and ascent levels remain the same), our newly expanded 1-10 scale offers greater distinction between holidays and clearer grade descriptions, so you can choose a holiday that best suits you.
Moderate walking grade 6
Longer full day walks with more ascent and varied terrain. Good fitness and agility are needed. Typically, 9-10 miles (15-16km) with around 1,500ft (460m) of ascent.
Challenging walking grade 9
Demanding full day walks with greater distance, ascent, and fewer stops. Best for very fit walkers. Typically, 13-14 miles (21-23km) with around 2,750ft (840m) of ascent.
Challenging walking grade 10
Our most challenging walks are for very fit, experienced mountain walkers. These include long, steep, remote routes. Typically, 14+ miles (23+km) with over 3,300ft (1,000m) of ascent.Discovering the beauty of the Scottish Highlands on foot
Taking the opportunity to bag a Munro
Marvelling at magnificent peaks and glorious lochs and glens
Finding exciting new routes with your HF Holidays Leader
Spending time with like-minded people in the great outdoors
Staying at Alltshellach, our country house in North Ballachulish
All our carefully-curated itineraries are designed by our experts. While we make every effort to adhere to the described itinerary, we may take alternative routes or adapt the running order for weather and/or operational reasons.
Choose one of three walks each walking day (or a choice from two walks between the end of October and March). Please read individual itineraries/trip notes for full details. 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.

[content] => Distance: 6.5 miles (10km)
Ascent: 3150 feet (960m)
We begin our walk in Glen Tarbet, walking up through the forest. After emerging onto the hillside, we continue onto a ridge and eventually the summit of Garbh Bheinn where, on clear days, there are excellent views east to Loch Leven and Glen Coe and north-east to Ben Nevis.

Later we descend through theformer workings of the Whitesmith Mine back to the Strontian valley. This walk is a great opportunity to hike amongst the tranquil mountains of the Ardgour Peninsula.

We'll take the Corran Ferry across Loch Linnhe to the Ardgour Peninsula. Then, we'll follow the river from the village of Strontian towards the long-abandoned Fee Donald lead mines, before heading back through the Ariundle Nature Reserve. The nature reserve is a precious fragment of ancient oakwood and a wonderful example of Scotland's rainforest. It is also home to squirrels, pine martens, and wild cats - though you'll need a lot of luck to see these elusive creatures.

[content] => Distance: 7.5 miles (12km)
Ascent: 1100ft (340m)
From the bottom of the Nevis Range Mountain Gondola, we’ll head under the canopy of Leanachan Forest on the northern slope of Ben Nevis, taking trails to reach a viewpoint worth every step. Look up at the cliffs of Ben Nevis and the glen from which the water for Ben Nevis Whisky comes, before descending towards Fort William.
You’ll then head off in search of Inverlochy Castle, stopping along the way to find out more at the sites of the 15th and 17th century battles fought right here. We’ll finish in Fort William where you’re free to roam the shops, cafes, and museum.

A warm welcome
We want you to feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. You’ll find a welcome pack in your room with guest registration forms, menus, order forms for dinners and picnic lunches, the Wi-Fi password, and the front door code. Our houses are locked at night, so we recommend noting the Duty Manager’s number on arrival in case of an emergency (or getting locked out).
Evening entertainment
While evening entertainment varies from house to house, HF Holidays Inter-House Quiz night held after dinner on Wednesdays is a weekly staple. Your HF Holidays leader may be around for tips on guided and self-guided waking routes as well as visit-worthy local attractions.
Walks talks
Our HF Holidays walk leaders host guided walking information briefings before dinner on guided walking holiday arrival days. This is followed by a group Walks Talk for information on the following day’s guided walks (held before dinner every evening). Self-guided walking guests are, of course, welcome.
The walking day
Prior to setting off on guided walks, your HF Holidays Leader will run you through a short safety briefing. There’s also an up-to-date weather forecast on display at the house to ensure you have appropriate clothing and footwear. If you choose to do your own walks or are on a self-guided walking holiday, we ask that you please complete an Independent Walker Card each day. These can be found near the Discovery Point in the house.
You are welcome to check in from 4pm at the earliest. HF Members can check in earlier, from 2pm. On arrival, you’ll enjoy a complimentary cream tea and get to meet your fellow guests, our HF Holidays Leaders, and the rest of the friendly team. Check out 10am.

Seasonal dining, tailored for you
Our team of skilled chefs design our dinner menus to showcase the best of each season, from warming winter comfort food to vibrant summer dishes, including vegetarian, vegan and high-protein options. We also source fruit and vegetables within a 40-mile radius of each house, open every break with a Chef’s Special menu inspired by dishes and flavours of the local area, and are able to adapt dishes to suit special dietary requirements.
Welcome Cream Tea
What better way to start your stay than with a cream tea, served fresh on arrival to make you feel instantly at home. A quintessentially English tradition, our scones are baked in-house and served with preserves and clotted cream, providing the perfect opportunity to meet fellow walkers.
A hearty breakfast to start the day
Start the day with a freshly-prepared cooked breakfast and a wide choice from our continental buffet, including hot drinks, juices and fresh fruit. Our team offer a quick and friendly service, leaving you fuelled and ready for your day’s adventures.
Our famous picnic lunch
Our personalised picnic lunches are perfect for a day out walking, ready to enjoy when hunger strikes. Choose from a large selection of fresh sandwiches and salads, freshly baked cakes and snacks, including the ever-popular Freddos chocolate bar! Everything is designed to fit neatly into your rucksack, and all of the packaging we provide is recyclable or compostable.
3-course evening meals
Our à la carte evening menus feature a wide choice of starters, mains, and desserts, made with seasonal ingredients and, wherever possible, herbs and vegetables from our own gardens. Shared around sociable tables, dinners are relaxed occasions, with drinks available to order at the table or from the bar, and a traditional Sunday roast to round off the week.

Essentials
For holidays operating October through to the end of March, please also bring the following on your walks:
Recommended
Walks may be changed for safety reasons and are subject to a maximum and minimum number of guests.
Leaders always consider the safety of the group as a whole, and may need to alter or curtail the walk if the conditions dictate. Your leader may refuse to accept a guest where clothing, equipment or behaviour is unsuitable. In the event of a problem all leaders carry a mobile phone, first aid kit, group shelter, spare maps and a compass.
Please note: If you choose to leave the group your leader is no longer responsible for you.
If you have a particular health condition or disability please put this on your guest registration form. This information will be confidential to your leaders and the house manager, but leaders do need to take account of any issues when planning walks. Please carry a copy of these trip notes with you, or note down the contact phone number for your accommodation (details in the travel section) should you need them in case of emergency.
We see it as our responsibility to minimise our emissions, not just for this year but every year to come. Our work with sustainability experts, ecollective, has enabled us to measure our carbon footprint and create a strategy to reduce the carbon intensity of our product by 5% each year. Our ambition is to be net zero by 2040 – earlier if we can.
