Loch Ossian Weekender

The tiny, remote, railway station at Corrour, famously shown in the film Trainspotting, is a cracking spot to spend a weekend in the hills. With no public road access, walking in or the train are our only options. 

The fantastic off-grid Loch Ossian Youth Hostel is a 20 minute walk from the station and will be our base for the weekend. Please note the Youth Hostel is self catering so you will need to bring your food. Please note that as we have booked one full dorm, you'll be sharing with your walk leader and other group members.

Simplest access from the East of the country is from Rannoch Station. From here it's only a short 10 minute train ride north to the next stop, Corrour. If coming from the West, the closest hop on is at Upper Tyndrum Station and it takes about an hour to get to Corrour.

We hope that you can join us on Friday evening but if you prefer to arrive early on Saturday morning, we will be leaving the Youth Hostel at 0930.

The nearby (well, 20 minute walk) Corrour Station House cafe serves food and we can organise a booking for the Saturday evening, should you wish to dine out, rather than self cater in the Youth Hostel.

Saturday morning we will head out to tackle Sgor Gaibhre and Carn Dearg.

Sunday morning we will be up sharp to get up Beinn Na Lap before the train home. This is only 7 km and 550m ascent right out the back of the Youth Hostel.

Hopefully we'll be able to snap a summery photo to replace the one above which was taken in winter! 

We've graded this adventure as blue because it is a lovely relaxed weekend in a beautiful, remote setting, taking in the Munros at a leisurely pace.
