You'll never forget your first glimpse of this special mountain. The long walk in from Lochinver teases the hiker as Suilven is always in the distance but it seems to take a long time to reach the bottom of the mountain.

The walk to the remote suliven mountain is a long hike but views from the top are worth the effort.

Mountain biking

Heading east from Lochinver the incredible peak of Suilven comes into view. On a clear day it is magical. The climb to the summit is a famous one so you may see hikers on the trail too, although it is a still a long way off for those on two feet.
