      Hikes On The Isle Of Skye

      Today itโ€™s time to get up early to catch the morning ferry to the Isle of Skye. The island boasts magnificent, wildly dramatic landscapes, which is why you will be undertaking two hikes. The Quiraing Circular Walk leads to one of the most famous mountain formations in the north of the island. In this fairytale-like area, often shrouded in mist, an encounter with hobbits or orcs would hardly come as a surprise. A second hike on the Cullin Walk leads to wonderful viewpoints over the coast and the mountains of Skye. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel. (Walking time approx. 5-6 hours, 760 mโ†‘โ†“, 14 km).

      Another short ferry ride is on the agenda today. On the mainland, follow the beautiful Road to the Isles and enjoy the views of lakes, mountains and the sea. At the Glenfinnan Viaduct, you hike to fabulous viewpoints. Perhaps the Hogwarts Express is about to pass by? On the highest mountain in Great Britain, Ben Nevis, you will later undertake another hike, which does not lead to the summit, but still offers a good view. Overnight stay in a hotel.
