Challenging Hiking Tours of Scotland
Lofty Summits. Exhilaration.
Challenger Hiking in ScotlandScrambly ridges. Wow, look at that view. Adrenaline pumping. What a buzz. Our harder, higher, fast-paced routes for fit, mountain walkers with a sense of adventure. Come and share your passion for exhilaration. This walking program is dedicated to the harder, higher, tougher - and for all ages. These are the most demanding holidays that we offer in the UK and around Europe. You need to be very fit with a head for heights and exposure, enjoy scrambling and high trail walking. On these holidays there is one leader and one walk during the day to allow you to concentrate on the challenge.

They generally run alongside Classic Walking, so if the going gets tough there's usually an easier option for the day. On seven night holidays there's usually a day where you can rest and relax or explore. Please select a holiday from the left hand menu. Ridges & Scrambles Enjoy superb narrow ridges and challenging scrambles in the company of an experienced mountain leader. A flexible program can be adjusted to suit the group and the weather, but will include a selection of the best routes in the area. No previous scrambling experience is necessary, however you'll need to be a fit hillwalker with a good head for heights.

High Routes - Britain For walkers who enjoy the challenge of the high mountains, the summits of the Lake District and Scotland offer endless opportunities for rewarding walks. On these holidays we’ll ascend a variety of peaks that are not included on our regular Classic Walking programs. For keen mountain walkers this is a great way to try new routes amidst Britain’s best scenery. 8 to 14 miles with up to 5,000ft of ascent. Walks may include: Isle of Arran: we’ll tackle some new routes on Arran’s superb granite mountains which could include Cir Mhor; the Castles; and Goatfell via the Cioch-na-h’Oighe. Lake District: climb Pillar and part of the Ennerdale round; follow the fantastic ridges of Great Dodd, Helvellyn, Swirral Edge and Catstye Cam; and along the roof of England to Scafell Pike and Great End. Western Highlands: there are a wealth of fine mountain summits to ascend on a holiday which could include the Mamores, the Grey Corries and Ben Starav.
