Activities
Local Walks:
We are strategically placed for a variety of walks, whether they are valley based or whether they are more strenuous, such as climbing the local Monros -Ben Nevis and Buchaille Etive Mor. Many of our visitors complete the Three Peaks’ Challenge, whilst staying with us. The Glen Coe mountain range, the Ballachulish Horseshoe, the Lost Valley at GlenCoe as well as a host of Munros on Ardnamurchan are all within easy reach of us.
