3 Day Cuillin Ridge Traverse – Guided Adventure
Embark on the UK’s most iconic mountaineering challenge – the Cuillin Ridge Traverse on the Isle of Skye. At 13km in length, with an additional 7km approach and descent, and over 3,000m of total ascent, this is a serious test of endurance, skill, and determination. Spanning two long days, each up to 12 hours on foot, this traverse demands strong hill fitness and a resilient mindset.
Carrying a lightweight rucksack (no more than 9kg), including your overnight kit, food, and technical equipment, you’ll be guided through one of the most dramatic and remote mountain landscapes in the UK.
What's Involved:
Scrambling, rock climbing, and abseiling, both with and without ropes
All technical sections led by a fully qualified mountain guide
Private guiding ensures the experience is tailored to your pace and goals
Flexible dates to match your availability and maximise the chance of success
Kit and food advice provided in advance to help you prepare
Important Notes:
Good fitness and confidence in mountainous terrain are essential
Best attempted solo or in a pair with similar fitness and objectives
If weather prevents an overnight traverse, we offer 3 flexible single-day alternatives, possibly venturing off-island to find optimal conditions
Whether you're chasing a lifelong goal or seeking the ultimate mountaineering experience in the UK, the Cuillin Ridge Traverse is a bucket-list adventure for committed climbers and scramblers.
