Scottish Youth Hostels

   
 

Walkers Hostels

Explore some of Scotland’s finest scenery on foot.  From short strolls along the scenic coastlines, rambling in the wild countryside to long distance treks through glens and hikes over magnificent Munros. With all this on our doorstep it’s not surprising hill walkers from all over the world return each year to enjoy the Scottish countryside. 

The Cairngorm National Park has hostels throughout allowing easy access to the largest area of arctic mountain landscape in the UK, with diverse rural communities around it. The Cairngorms are home to 25% of Britain's threatened bird, animal and plant life and includes wildlife rich moorlands, ancient Caledonian forests, crystal clear rivers, lochs and isolated glens. The mighty Cairngorm Mountains share the same latitude as Anchorage and offer winter walking experiences second to none. 

Checkout our NEW Cairngorm National Park Trek this year. With dates throughout May, June and August this exciting holiday covers 75 miles of the picturesque Grampian and Cairngorm Mountains. 

Most of our hostels are part of the VisitScotland Walkers Welcome Scheme and are situated in fantastic locations.
