April Update

 

Here in the West Highlands, April is a changeable month. Spring is finally here but winter can still have it's grip on higher ground, with the snow-clad, surrounding mountains looking spectacular.

​

We have chalet availability during the 2nd half of April, an ideal time for a West Highland stay, with the local area usually quieter after Easter. Our monthly page is intended to provide helpful info on planning that improptu short break.

​

Late Availability

​

We sometimes discount our advertised tariffs by at least 10%, for bookings made within 7 days of arrival, 

Please just see our booking system for what is possible, where availability for all 9 of our chalets is displayed. 

You can also contact us directly at any time.

 

 

Perfectly Located for West-coast Hill-walking & Mountaineering 

​

Inchree's location is equi-distant between the the Ben Nevis, Glen Coe & Mamore Mountains, so we're in the perfect spot for West Highland mountain-sport. Additionally, we are just 300 metres from the Corran Ferry, which provides convenient car & foot access to the wonderful & remoter areas of Ardgour, Morven & Ardnamurchan.

​

Sledging at Glen Coe Mountain

​

Our local & much-loved ski area, Glen Coe Mountain, is just a 20 minute drive away.

At the time of writing (10th April) although lift-assisted skiing has stopped, their access chairlift from the base station to 700 metres on the mountain of Meall a'Bhuiridh is open 7 days a week for sightseers & walkers.

A 10 minute easy walk from the chairlift then takes you to their sledging slope with cafe, (real snow, machine-made) a fun option especially for kids. Check Glen Coe Mountains website & social media for more info, from where you can also buy chairlift tickets.

​

Pubs & Eateries within walking distance

​

We are fortunate to have several eateries & watering holes within easy walking distance of the chalets:

​

  • RoamWest - Just a stone's throw from the chalets, RoamWest is a long-established country pub. They serve a reputable evening menu. Pre-booking is advisable.

​

  • Ardgour Ales. - Located again via the Corran Ferry, Ardgour Ales is both brewery & beer tent. Every Friday night they do super pizzas for sit-in or takeaway.
