Highlight • Viewpoint

If you take this route you will avoid the crowds, except around the Old Man. On a clear day, the panorama from the top of the Storr is absolutely amazing.

Breathtaking views, the Scottish Highlands along with Iceland are scenically the most incredible places in Europe, in a league of their own.

A wonderful hike through incredibly beautiful scenery...
Unfortunately, we were somewhat poorly routed on the ascent due to an older Komoot recording... better to stay on the main trail!

For once, we had the weather on our side! We were able to hike the Old Man of Storr, an absolute must-see on the Isle of Skye, in sunshine and clouds, enjoying a unique atmosphere.

This tour is also not particularly demanding, but it is quite strenuous, since there is also a continuous steep climb here without any real recovery phases in between! But every effort is worth it :) even if a lot of people can be out and about here ...
