Glen Affric Escape

Service Description

Step away from the everyday and into the quiet grandeur of Glen Affric with our Glen Affric Escape Weekend—a two-day journey through ancient Caledonian pinewoods, remote lochans, and long, winding glens framed by some of the most impressive peaks in the Highlands. Often regarded as one of Scotland’s most beautiful glens, Glen Affric is defined by its native pine forests, open straths, and deep sense of remoteness. Over the weekend, you’ll follow a network of quiet stalkers’ paths and venture into wilder, less-travelled ground, gaining height onto surrounding hills for expansive views back down the glen. Evenings are spent wild camping beside lochs or rivers, with the forest and mountains providing a truly peaceful backdrop. This weekend is about escaping the crowds, moving at a relaxed pace, and experiencing the landscape as it’s meant to be experienced—on foot, with time to take it all in. Ideal for those new to wild camping or anyone looking for a restorative Highland adventure, guided by an experienced mountain professional.
