LOCH CORUISK
Experience the UK’s most dramatic mountain range and witness what is described as “Britain’s best view” (although we know of better!).
Our meeting point for this hike is in the tiny fishing village of Elgol in the south of Skye. We can meet you there, or we can pick you up in Portree, Sligachan or Broadford.
Our target is the reach a point just over half way to the summit which offers a view which has often been described as the best in Britain. Here we will stop for lunch as we take in the panoramic view of the mighty Black Cuillin as it horseshoes around Loch Coruisk below. After lunch we start our descent into Glen Sligachan, passing by seldom seen views of some of the Cuillin’s most impressive peaks. Once down on the floor of the valley, it is a level hike all the way to the finish line at the Sligachan Hotel.
Once we’ve feasted on ample lunch and scenery, we begin our descent to the shores of the loch below. From here we follow the eastern edge of the water to our final destination of the boat jetty – from where we sail back to Elgol to complete the circuit.
