The Arran Mountain Festival is an exciting four day event with a huge variety of guided walks and scrambles offered throughout Arran’s stunning hills and mountains.

From wildlife-watching walks along the island’s coastline to airy scrambles on towering granite ridges. Scottish hill walking at it's best!

Scottish Hill Walking Festival

The Arran Mountain Festival is an opportunity to meet like-minded people, discover a fascinating island and have unforgettable days in the safe hands of experienced local guides. With names to inspire the imagination, such as Ceum na Caillich (Witch’s Step) Caisteal Abhail (Castles) and the Sleeping Warrior, the mountains of Arran are some of Scotland’s most amazing landscapes.

The Isle of Arran is one of the most accessible of Scottish islands, with good transport links by ferry, road, rail and air. At the end of an exhilarating day in the outdoors, there are plenty of hostels, hotels, cottages and campsites for comfort and relaxation.

Fantastic Feedback from 2011 Mountain Festival

"Brilliant day, great walk and company" Jaqui R, Witch's Step and Castles Walk

"Enjoyable, refreshing, good craic" Frances

"Fantastic!!" Carol, Witch's Step and Castles Walk

"The whole day was brilliantly organised from start to finish. The leader and co-leader were excellent. The company was great. All in all a fantastic experience." Sarah, A'Chir Ridge Walk

"We had an excellent day on A'Chir Ridge - great leaders, great day! Looking forward to doing more next year!" Jaqui T, A'Chir Ridge Walk

"Looking forward to May 2012" Carol, Cioche na h-Oighe and Goatfell Walk

"This is a great walking festival as it is very well-organised and unlike some walking festivals, the party numbers are deliberately kept small which enables participants to connect and work together as a team.  Much more rewarding than chugging along in a group of 30 people. The knowledge of leaders on the fauna and flora is excellent and in addition they are expert navigators!!!" Ann Gibbs-Jordan, A'Chir Ridge Walk & Cir Mhor Walk
