Lochailort – TGO Challenge Start Point

Highlight • Settlement

The Lochailort Hotel sits at head of the sea loch and gives access to some truly wild country. To the south the rough Ardgour Corbetts and to the north many will walk along Loch Beoraid or over to Oban bothy. All routes are hard going, often pathless but rewarding. It’s a great start point for those with previous Challenge experience but not ideal if this will be your first walk in Scotland.

Register: Lochailort Inn: 01687 470208, enquires@lochailortinn.co.uk

Getting there: Lochailort has its own stop on the beautiful Fort William-Mallaig rail line.
