🚗 Road trip Hiking

If you dream of a road trip through Scotland’s most iconic landscapes, here are two amazing tours:

These circuits immerse you in the diverse Scottish landscapes. They include some challenging hikes, but are flexible and can be adapted to a more family-friendly level.

Accommodation options:

  • 🏕️ Camping & campervans: Ideal for this type of trip as there is generally no need to book a pitch.
  • 🏡 Hotels & Airbnb: A possible alternative, but one that requires more rigorous planning and is less flexible in the face of unpredictable weather, for example.

🏡 Star-shaped Hiking

Do you prefer to stay at a fixed base and explore the surrounding trails every day? Here are some of the best areas for this type of holiday:

  • 📍 Assynt – A wild region of spectacular landscapes, characterised by isolated mountains and a myriad of lochs and lochans. Not very touristy, it lends itself to a 2 day break as well as a full week’s holiday.

  • 📍 Isle of Skye – A can’t miss destination, certainly very touristy, but full of exceptional hikes suitable for all levels. A week there allows you to fully enjoy it.
  • 📍 Torridon Valley – A land of Scotland’s iconic mountains, this valley offers varied and spectacular routes. Ideal for a 2 to 3 day immersion.
  • 📍 Isle of Arran – Nicknamed ‘Scotland in miniature’, this island is an excellent introduction to the diversity of the Scottish landscape. A 2 to 3-day stay is perfect for exploring its treasures.
  • 📍 Glencoe Valley – Set in the heart of the Highlands, this valley is a true paradise for hikers with a multitude of trails to explore. Allow 2 to 3 days to enjoy it.

💡 You can also combine several of these regions and change accommodation during your stay to vary the scenery and experiences!
