Glen Coe to Glen Etive through Lairig Eilde

This is a delightful short hike through beautiful Lairig Eilde which is squeezed between Buachaille Etive Beag and the Three Sisters of Glencoe.
The rocky path will take us up 244 m to reach the bealach high point of 490 m where we will get a chance to absorb the views and the feeling of a big mountain landscape. From the bealach we continue along and down the Lairig – descending 350 m to reach the waiting mini bus at Dalness in Glen Etive. From this point we may have to succumb and head to the Kings House Hotel in Glen Coe for coffee and cake. A fine end to the day!

Rocky path without technical difficulties. Walking poles would be helpful. Duration 2.5 hours.

For Medium, Hard and Extra Hard walks we ask walkers to make sure they have full hillwalking gear, by which we mean definitely the following: Boots, warm clothing, warm/quick drying trousers (not denim jeans), waterproof jacket and over trousers, rucsac, hat, gloves, spare fleece, packed lunch, spare food and drink, small personal first aid kit including any medications, mobile phone, headtorch, and bivvy bag if you have one, and possibly also these other items, depending on personal preference: Gaiters, rucsac cover, walking poles, spare socks, map, compass, GPS, lipsalve, camera.

1. Risk.
The nature of hill walking potentially involves leaders or other participants in providing close assistance to others. For everybody’s protection those people classified as ‘vulnerable adults’ or young people under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an appropriate carer or responsible adult. No special arrangements are available to provide independent supervision for vulnerable people, and the accompanying carer takes full responsibility for them. The carer or parent is best placed to judge the capability of their charges.

2. Children.
We do ask that you only bring children on a walk if you are confident that they will be able to complete it comfortably. At all times, children must be accompanied by an appropriate adult who must take full responsibility for them.

3. Lower age limits.
No children under the age of 16 are allowed on Extra Hard or Hard walks. Children over the age of 12 are permitted on Medium and Easy walks provided that they are accompanied by a responsible adult.

4. Dogs.
In common with other similar events and in consideration for others, dogs are not allowed (guide dogs excepted).

5. Smoking.
Please do not smoke on walks, out of consideration to others.
