An Socach, Glen Affric

The rugged mountain ridges encircling Loch Mullardoch offer an epic route that includes 12 Munros. While experienced hill runners can complete the route in a day, those taking a more leisurely hiking pace should plan for an overnight camp to fully enjoy the journey.

Accessible only on foot or by sturdy bike, remote Affric Hostel sits beneath mighty Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan. This impressive peak, along with its two Munro neighbours, is connected by ridges that create a splendid hillwalking route.
