| This is a hard one. It is known to be the hardest ridge to hike on the mainland of Scotland. You have to be at ease with scrambling up and down to adventure yourself on this one. It starts at Allt-na-reigh, a little house on the road to Glen Coe. From there, a trail gets to the top of Am Bodach. |
| The ridge between Am Bodach and Stob Coire has a lot of really steep steps and is really thin so you have to be careful. Once this is done you can go down by the way shown on the map which is really steep or you can continue a bit and get down between the Pap of Glencoe and Sgorr Nam Fiannaidh. It is a bit longer but safer. |
| Once at the bottom there is a great little Inn called Clachaig Inn where you can taste a few scottish beers or whiskies. There is also usually a folk band twice a week during summer time. This hike should take around 7 or 8 hours. On the road at the bottom there is a camping, a Youth Hostel and there is also rooms avalaible at the inn if you need to stay in that region for the night. |
