Spend 4 days hill-walking and rock-scrambling in Kintail

Day 1 : Beinn Fhada and Sgurr a'Choire Ghairbh ridge
Day 2 : Five Sisters of Kintail
Day 3 : The Brothers of Kintail
Day 4 : The Forcan Ridge, The Saddle and Sgurr na Sgine

Kintail is a magical area of impressive mountain ridges rising steeply from shores and glens. Crags, corries and cliffs, often hidden well from roadside view, tempt hillwalkers and climbers to the ridge summits. We're here to discover the famed Five Sisters and other nearby ranges, including the Forcan Ridge.

General outline of trip :

Day 1 14km, 1200m, 5-6hr

We'll meet up on the Saturday morning and head up Strath Croe and aim for Beinn Fhada, also known as Ben Attow. Following a fast flowing burn, we'll get onto the vast summit plateau, then after lunch on the summit, we'll cross Sgurr a'Choire Ghairbh and its notched ridge.

Day 2 8km, 1200m, 5-6hr

Our second day gets us onto the stunning Five Sisters of Kintail with their three Munro summits and we'll investigate the battle sites of a bloody history.

Day 3 14km, 1700m, 6-8hr

The third day sees us on the peaks east of Five Sisters of Kintail, often referred to as the Brothers of Kintail. Looking down onto Cluanie to the south and Gleann Lichd to the north, this long ridge has four Munro summits, including dark Ciste Dubh and mighty Sgurr a'Bhealaich Dheirg.

Day 4 11km, 1400m, 5-6hr

Our final day begins with a sporting scramble taking us up the Forcan Ridge and onto the two Munro summits of The Saddle and Sgurr na Sgine. There is an easier option for those not wishing to clamber on the crest of the ridge.

We're hoping to be based in Ratagan Hostel for the duration of the trip and can recommend other accommodation in the area (see below).

Cost for each person is £175 for all 4 days and includes mountain guiding and transport each day from your accommodation. If you would prefer to join us for part of the trip, then you can come along for £50 per day (£60 for the Forcan Ridge). We have a maximum guide to client ratio of 1:6 on this trip (1:4 on The Forcan Ridge).
