The Skye Trail (Guided & Supported)

A 7-day guided walk on the Isle of Skye, hiking south to north on this beautiful, mountainous island off the west coast of Scotland. The Skye Trail is a challenging, unofficial long distance route and a fantastic way to see the many wonders of Skye.

The challenge of this trail is well worth the effort as you will experience some of the most breath-taking scenery in Scotland. You will pass ruins of deserted villages, destroyed in the Highland Clearances; have multiple views of the Cuillin Ridge; walk over the spectacular Trotternish Ridge; and the opportunity to see the Isle of Skye's wonderful array of wildlife, including seals, otters and eagles.

What's Included with this Holiday

  • 7 days guided walking
  • B&B accommodation (8 nights)
  • A qualified UK Mountain Leader as your guide
  • The support of a dedicated Trek Manager
  • A Skye Trail information pack
  • Luggage transfers
  • Max group size of 12
  • Support Vehicle
