Climbing at the Ice Factor
As well as being the biggest indoor ice climbing facility in the world, it features the UK's largest articulated rock climbing wall and a competition - standard bouldering hall, making it the perfect place to practice, train and learn every conceivable mountaineering skill.

Canoeing
Loch Ossian nearby is a paradise for small boats, it is more than three miles long and has bays and islands to explore - so why not try this in our versatile Canadian canoes? These can be hired for an additional charge.

Walking, Hill Walking and Picnics
Glenloy has a huge number of different walks not only for those who want to reach the mountaintops and bag some Munro’s, but also for those who prefer to stay on flatter ground.

There are over 20 peaks of more than 3,000 feet within easy reach of “Inverskilavulin”. Yet one can walk on almost any of the roads and paths without having to gain much altitude. There are of course countless ideal places for picnics both on the waterside and on the hills. In the summer, children might enjoy seeing the hill ponies, the Highland cattle and the black-faced sheep. Horse riding is also available.

  • Windsurfing
  • Kayaking
  • Sailing
