Description
Would you like to discover one of the best hiking spots on the Isle of Skye in Scotland? Then you can’t miss this four-day scrambling program to the 11 munros on the stunning Cuillin Ridge!
The Cuillin Ridge is a rocky mountain range famous for its gabbro rock and amazing views. On this 4-day course, you will reach the summit of the 11 munros in the range, which are above 3,000 meters of altitude.
Every day we will head to a different spot on the ridge. We will cover classic sections such as the west ridge of Sgurr nan Gillean, the famous In’ Pinn’ and the ridge between Sgurr a’Mhadaidh and Sgurr a’Ghreadaidh. You can find a tentative itinerary below.
Keep in mind that you will need a good fitness level to join this program. Also, you will need to be comfortable with heights. Additionally, although it is best if you have some prior grade 2 scrambling experience, the summits we will tackle are within the grade 3 range, and therefore manageable. Furthermore, you will receive highly personalized instruction and we will be there to help you out at all times.
So, are you ready to summit the amazing munros of Cuillin Ridge in Scotland? Then contact us now and join us on this fantastic experience!
Or, if you prefer, you can come with us to climb to the top of Ben Nevis!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
