4-Day Corrour Trek Itinerary
Arrive at Corrour Station in the morning, stepping straight into one of the wildest landscapes in Britain. After meeting your guide, you will drop bags at your accommodation and take time to settle in.
The afternoon is spent on a gentle acclimatisation walk in the surrounding area, perfect for stretching the legs after the journey. This relaxed walk explores the shores of Loch Ossian and the open moorland nearby, offering your first taste of Corrour’s vast, quiet scenery.
Return to accommodation in the afternoon with time to relax before heading to the Station House Restaurant for a hearty dinner and a comfortable first night in the Highlands.
After breakfast, you set out for a full day of hiking, heading into some of the most secluded Munro country in Scotland. The exact route is chosen by your guide based on weather conditions and group ability, ensuring the best and safest experience on the day.
Possible objectives include the elegant Ben na Lap, the rugged slopes of Leum Uilleim, or a longer and more challenging circuit combining Sgorr Gaibhre and Carn Dearg, offering expansive views across Rannoch Moor and beyond.
Expect a satisfying day of steady ascents, open ridgelines, and a real sense of space and isolation. You will return to Corrour in the late afternoon or early evening, tired but fulfilled, in time for dinner and a well-earned rest.
Following breakfast, you head out for a second day on the hills. Depending on the group’s energy and the weather, this day may involve another Munro ascent or a longer exploratory route through Corrour’s remote landscapes.
This is a chance to fully appreciate the area’s wild beauty, with fewer time pressures and opportunities to explore quieter corners of the estate. The afternoon is deliberately more relaxed, allowing time to recover, enjoy the lochside surroundings, or simply soak up the atmosphere of this extraordinary location.
Your final evening is spent back at the Station House Restaurant, celebrating the adventure with a last group dinner in one of the most memorable settings in the Highlands.
After breakfast, you pack up and make the short walk back to Corrour Station.
Board the morning ScotRail service and begin your journey home, leaving behind the silence, space, and unforgettable landscapes of Corrour.
Food & Accommodation
Accommodation
The Corrour Munros Adventure is all about immersing yourself in one of the most remote corners of the Scottish Highlands, and being well prepared is a key part of the experience. You will stay in shared accommodation beside Loch Ossian, offering a warm, comfortable base after long days on the hill.
Due to the remote nature of Corrour, no meals are included, and it is essential that you bring enough food and snacks to last the duration of the trip, particularly for lunches on the hill. Each evening, the group will head to the Station House Restaurant for hearty evening meals, where snacks and additional supplies can also be purchased.
Food
At Corrour, you’ll be staying at Loch Ossian Youth Hostel, which has a fully equipped self-catering kitchen with fridge and cooking facilities. A small selection of basic provisions, snacks, and ready meals is also available to purchase on site, which is helpful given the remote location.
Breakfasts and lunches are self-catered, so please bring enough food and high-energy snacks for time on the hill. Evening meals can be enjoyed at the Station House Restaurant near Corrour Station, or you’re welcome to self-cater at the hostel if you prefer.
Because Corrour is very remote, it’s important to arrive with food that suits you, bought in advance from supermarkets or shops. Do this before you arrive at Corrour Station as there are no local supermarkets once you arrive. Many people opt for ready meals, pasta, rice dishes, sandwiches, wraps, snacks, and easy breakfast items that are simple to prepare and transport.
When planning your food, focus on high-energy, easy-to-carry options that will keep you fuelled throughout long days in the Highlands.
Drinks and Water
Staying well hydrated is essential during long days on the hill, especially in remote Highland terrain. You should carry at least two litres of water per day, using refillable water bottles or a hydration system. Water can usually be topped up at accommodation before heading out, but always start the day with enough to be fully self-sufficient.
Difficulty:
Moderate
How challenging is the trek?
The Corrour trek is a moderate but rewarding Highland adventure, defined by distance, remoteness, and time spent moving through wide open landscapes.
Rather than steep or technical climbing, the challenge comes from long walking days, steady ascents, and consecutive days on the hill, often far from roads or facilities. You’ll be covering ground through moorland, lochside paths, and quiet Munro terrain where efficiency and endurance matter more than speed.
This trek is very achievable for fit, prepared walkers, but it’s not a casual stroll. The reward lies in the journey itself and the rare experience of exploring one of the UK’s most remote mountain areas under your own steam.

To Gauge Your Readiness, Here’s Some Helpful Guidance
Before taking on the Corrour adventure, you should aim to be comfortable hiking for 5–7 hours with a backpack weighing around 5–7kg.
Your training hikes should include steady uphill and downhill sections, with a target total elevation gain of around 700–900 metres. Being able to manage this at a relaxed but consistent pace, without feeling completely drained, is a good indicator that you’re ready.
Consecutive Walking Days
This trip involves multiple days on the hill, so doing back-to-back hikes over a weekend is a great way to prepare. Corrour is remote, and days are shaped by terrain and distance rather than rushing, so building endurance over consecutive days is key.
With regular walking and a bit of preparation, this is a moderate and achievable mountain adventure, well suited to anyone with a reasonable level of hill fitness. We recommend training 3–4 times per week for at least 4-6 weeks before the trip, gradually increasing distance, elevation gain, and pack weight. Regular walking on uneven ground and longer days out will help prepare your legs and stamina for steady days in remote terrain.
What to Expect on the Hill
Physical Challenge
The Corrour Munros rise to just over 1,000 metres, and while altitude itself is not a factor, the challenge comes from long approaches, steady climbs, and the sheer openness of the landscape. The terrain encourages a measured pace, with effort spread evenly across the day rather than concentrated into steep bursts.
Duration
Walking days typically last 5–7 hours, depending on route choice, weather conditions, and group pace. The itinerary is designed to feel immersive rather than rushed, allowing time to enjoy the remoteness and scale of the area.
Terrain
Terrain around Corrour is classic Highland mountain ground. Expect estate tracks, open moorland, grassy slopes, rocky sections, and occasional boggy ground. Paths are often less defined than in busier mountain areas, adding to the sense of journey and wilderness.
Weather
Weather in this part of the Scottish Highlands can change quickly. You should be prepared for wind, rain, low cloud, and cooler temperatures, even in summer. Clear conditions can offer expansive views across Rannoch Moor and the surrounding hills, but good waterproofs and layered clothing are essential.
This is a truly immersive Highland experience, defined by space, silence, and the satisfaction of moving through one of the UK’s most remote mountain landscapes under your own steam.
