Witch's Step and Castles

Scotland's premier hillwalking and mountaineering festival | 17-20 May 2019

We are currently busy planning the 2020 walks programme. Take a look at this year’s programme for an idea of what will be on offer. Booking lines for 2020 will open in December 2019.

An opportunity to meet like-minded people, discover a fascinating island and have unforgettable days in the safe hands of experienced local leaders. With names to inspire, like Ceum na Caillich and Caisteal Abhail, Arran's mountains are amongst Scotland’s most amazing landscapes.

SMALL GROUPS ~ BIG WALKS ~ HUGE FUN!

Programme 2019 >>

The Arran Mountain Festival endoses the work of TAP Arran (Think About Plastic Arran), by reducing its use of single-use plastic and keeping the environment plastic-free. The Festival is committed to eliminating its use of 'single-use plastic' by enouraging participants to use re-useable water bottles, and by promoting the use of a new sandwich/food wrap developed by a local bee keeper and committee member (for sale during the Festival). The Festival, wherever possible, will not use plastic plates, cups or cutlery.
