グレンアフリック周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Mam Sodhail is a twin to the neighbouring Carn Eige, the two highest peaks north of the great glen.

The Glen Affric Youth hostel is an awesome adventure base. It's about 10 km from the Glen Affric car park, but once there you have access to loads of great running adventures. It's also on the Glen Affric Way long distance trail. Please do book in advance or at least check it's open. They shut for a week each month to give the staff time off and the hostel is also available for private hire, so it's not a guarantee stay.

Tom a' Chòinich is a munro at 1,112 m. The summit is accessed along an awesome rocky ridge, it's steep and feels amazing but it's not actually technical. Good effort if you run the whole way though!

Nice Bothy with 8 beds

Cycle-able from Glen Affric youth hostel on bike with chubby rubber (40mm upwards). Descent to Morvich is a beauty but you'll probably want bigger tyres for the chonk. There are plenty of big rocks and carrying. Bothy in really good condition with bunk beds. When we stayed, there were 5 others there and it was good craic.

Beautiful bothy amidst mountains of kintail. 2 rooms with bunks. Very remote. Very good.

Set amidst glorious Highland scenery, Glen Affric Youth Hostel is one of the most wonderfully located hostels in the country. This former stalking bothy today has a wind turbine and solar panels, providing it with the clean energy it needs to power its two private rooms and dorms. From its door are some superb Munros, including the magnificent Sgùrr nan Ceathreamhnan. The hostel also sits on the route of the Cape Wrath Trail and the Affric Kintail Way long-distance footpaths.

Camban is a bothy that provides something of a link between Kintail and Glen Affric. It's a popular shelter for weary hikers bagging the region's Munros – the area is renowned for its multi-summit ridge walks. There are two rooms that permit up to eight people and an open fire. As ever, in the case of a full bothy, always have a tent, just in case.
