Skye Trail

Distance: 15 - 20 km per day

> Traverse the full length of the Isle of Skye in a week

The Isle of Skye is one of the most stunning corners in Scotland. With the dramatic hills of the Cuillin and charming fishing villages it's an island of contrasts. What is a better way to explore Skye on foot! From the northern tip of Skye at Rubha Hunish we follow the 128 km long Skye Trail across the island's mountain ridges, rugged coast lines and moorlands to end in the village of Broadford.
The route is typically done in 7 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 before the trek and in Broadford after you complete the Skye Trail.

Arrival in Uig
Arrive at Uig, located close to the northern edge of the Isle of Skye. Uig is a quaint village on the western side of the Trotternish peninsula in the shadow of tall cliffs and a bay shaped like a horseshoe, from which it derives its name. In the village, you'll find various shops, pubs, a café, a brewery, and numerous places to stay. Thanks to its frequent ferry services to the Outer Hebrides, this picturesque harbor has efficient links to the mainland through Portree.

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.
