This weekend is ideal for people who want to take on a proper mountain challenge followed by a more scenic and relaxed day. It suits those who enjoy contrast in their weekends and don’t want two very hard days back-to-back.

A good level of fitness is needed for the Carrauntoohil day, along with a positive attitude and the ability to be flexible across the two days.

Over the weekend you will experience two contrasting days in Kerry. On Saturday you’ll tackle Carrauntoohil via the Devil’s Ladder, with steep and dramatic mountain terrain. On Sunday you’ll explore the beautiful area around Torc Mountain and Torc Waterfall, combining a steady climb with time spent enjoying the waterfall and surrounding woodland.

The exact pacing each day will be adapted depending on the weather and what suits the group best. You can expect a rewarding weekend with a good balance of challenge and scenery.

June weather in Kerry can be changeable. We may experience bright sunshine, rain, or mist, so layers and proper waterproofs are recommended. Good footwear is important, especially on the steeper sections of Carrauntoohil.

All trips are led by qualified and experienced guides. We carry group safety equipment and will adjust routes or plans if conditions require it. Full safety briefings are given at the start of each day.
