    Tie your shoelaces - it’s time to hit the trail! Meet your experienced mountain leader at the Allt Mor car park for a hike, which lasts around 2.5 hours and covers 5.5 miles (8.8km).
  • Wander through ancient Caledonian pine forest and gaze in wonder at An Lochan Uaine - the Green Lochan. If you’re lucky, you might even spot some wildlife, such as ospreys, eagles, and red squirrels. On the way to Glenmore Visitor Centre, your guide will share stories of local folklore, history, and geology. If time allows, visit a traditional Scottish bothy - a simple mountain shelter once used by shepherds and now a welcoming refuge for hill walkers. (pass by)
