A great example of the hiking adventures we offer is also one of our favourites, the Lairig Ghru Challenge Weekend is designed to help you maximize your time with us, and is scheduled with flight times out of Inverness Airport in mind, including transfers.

You will arrive at the lodge between 5 and 7pm Friday evening, just in time of one of Rebecca's famous dinners followed by a 18 and a half mile hike through the Caledonian pines of Linn of Dee to Rothiemurchus Estate where you will have a full view of what you have accomplished over the day.

The following day we have a warm down 3 hour hike in store for you to the beautiful Loch an Eilean after which you will return for a fantastic Sunday roast. We'll get you back to the airport in time for your flight and you'll be back home in time for tea.

All of our experiences are able to be tailored to your group's level of ability and time available, simply contact us at Mountain Innovations Hiking to find out more.
