Hiking

Beautiful YH hut, nice hosts, very well equipped in kitchen and common areas: games, maps, compass for rent. Coffee, milk and teas for self-service against donations, YH-usual food leftovers. Cozy stove with water heating & drying racks. Constructed sewage treatment plant, PV cells, wind battery charger. Wool and synthetic fiber blankets available, so that a mitzubringendes (lightweight :-) cotton or silk slip enough. You have to bring food. 2 gas stoves. Outdoor food bags can be bought.

Hiking

Set amidst glorious Highland scenery, Glen Affric Youth Hostel is one of the most wonderfully located hostels in the country. This former stalking bothy today has a wind turbine and solar panels, providing it with the clean energy it needs to power its two private rooms and dorms.

From its door are some superb Munros, including the magnificent Sgùrr nan Ceathreamhnan. The hostel also sits on the route of the Cape Wrath Trail and the Affric Kintail Way long-distance footpaths.

Running

The Glen Affric Youth hostel is an awesome adventure base. It's about 10 km from the Glen Affric car park, but once there you have access to loads of great running adventures. It's also on the Glen Affric Way long distance trail.

Please do book in advance or at least check it's open. They shut for a week each month to give the staff time off and the hostel is also available for private hire, so it's not a guarantee stay.
