Inverie: Knoydart Mountain Hike & Best Views in Scotland｜United Kingdom

Join a guided mountain hike in remote Knoydart and climb Sgùrr Coire Choinnichean, the Corbett peak that towers directly above Inverie. Corbetts are Scottish mountains between 2,500 ft and 3,000 ft, and this route delivers a big reward for a short, steep day out.

Meet your guide in Inverie at 08:15 (a ferry from Mallaig is required unless you’re staying in Inverie). Before setting off, your guide will check that everyone has the right kit for the hike and answer any questions about the route, weather, and pacing.

From the village, you’ll be guided through woodland and up onto open hillside, where the views expand with every step—coastal panoramas, island outlines, and wild Knoydart landscapes. The walk is led at a pace that suits the group, with time to pause for photos and to appreciate the area’s interesting geology along the trail.

At the summit, you’ll take a well-earned break to enjoy lunch with outstanding views. After soaking it all in, you’ll retrace your steps back down to Inverie. If timings allow, you’ll have time for a celebratory drink at The Old Forge, the most remote pub on mainland Britain, before the ferry back to Mallaig.
