Torridon Outdoors

Torridon Munros

Many come to Torridon hoping to bag a Munro. There are three great mountain ranges to the north of Glen Torridon: Beinn Alligin, Liathach and Beinn Eighe. Each contains two Munros (peaks over 3000 feet) giving six in total to the north of the glen. To the south lie three further Munros, deep within the Coulin forest. All the hills offer fantastic views of the wild and remote West Highlands.

Mountain Biking

Head along the coastal path towards Shieldaig visiting Loch Damh or Balgy Falls on the way. Choose from easy-going forest trails or cut through to more technical terrain, taking in the Torridon Loop or Beinn Damh Loop. Mountain Bike hire is also available from the Outdoor Hut.

Wildlife

With the rugged Scottish Highlands on our doorstep, you’ll want to experience the best of what nature has to offer. Even on short walks it’s possible to spot deer, pine martens, seals and otters around the shore. Birdwatchers will be spoilt for choice with the diversity of bird life in the area. Herons, cormorants and curlews can be spotted, and if you’re lucky you might catch a glimpse of a white-tailed eagle.
