We are a few miles south of the Torridon mountains - with the 'big three' - Liathach, Beinn Eighe and Beinn Alligin dominating. We have Beinn Bhan and the Applecross hills on our doorstep, with Sgorr Ruadh and Fuar Tholl nearby. Across the way is Skye and the Cuillin hills. In the Spring & Autumn we run Cuillin Traverse, Scrambling, and Cuillin Munro courses from Carbost, a village at the head of Glen Brittle.
