 Fishing
An ideal way to pass a beautiful day with your friends is to go fishing on one of Corrour’s six breathtaking lochs.
The lochs provide splendid surroundings for both the veteran – and aspiring – fisherman. The Lochs contain wild brown trout and wild pike – some weighing as much as 30 pounds.
The lochs are suitable for wet fly or dapping or you can hire one of our boats and go trawling.
Instruction is available with one of our trained fishing ghillies and fishing permits can be arranged through the Corrour office.

 Hill Walking and Nature Walks
Corrour has a number of different walks at various physical intensities. There are over 20 peaks of more than 3,000 feet – called a “Munro” in Scotland – within easy reach of Corrour. You can “bag a Munro” or two during your stay. Click here for more information on Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the UK, located an hour from Corrour.
You might prefer something less challenging. One can walk on almost any of the roads and paths without having to gain much altitude. There are countless ideal places for picnics both on the waterside and on the hills. For a list of Munros and Corbetts on Corrour please visit this link |
