The Isle of Skye is one of the most beautiful regions in Scotland. With the impressive hills of the Cuillin and colourful fishing villages it's an island of contrasts. The best way to explore Skye is on foot! From the northern tip of Skye at Rubha Hunish we tackle the northern half of the Skye Trail across the Trotternish Ridge, rugged coast lines and moorlands to end in the village of Sligachan.
This part of the Skye Trail is typically done in 4 stages and is considered quite strenuous. Some stage ends don't have any accommodation directly on the trail and we organise your transfers to a nearby accommodation. Each day your excess bagage will be transferred to your next spot. This tour also includes accommodation in Uig or Flodigarry before the trek and in Broadford after you complete the this section of the Skye Trail.

Quiraing Car Park - The Storr
Duration: 11:30 h
Distance: 23.2 km
Ascent: 1180 m
Descent: 1260 m
You’ll be dropped back at the Quiraing Car Park for the second stage of the Skye Trail. It’s a long, tough day, following the spine of the Trotternish Peninsula. You hike from hilltop to hilltop with constant views of the sea on both sides. This beautiful stage has a fitting end at one of the most iconic geological landmarks on Isle of Skye, The Storr. This bizarre rock formation is probably the most photographed feature on the island. You’ll see why. From the car park you’ll be transferred to the charming village of Portree.
