Purple Moutain par le Gap of Dunloe
↔9.43 mi ↗+2,808 ft ↘-2,828 ft ◔6h 45 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Ireland
A very beautiful hike in Kerry through the famous Gap of Dunloe: a beautiful series of lakes, ravines and passes, traversed by flocks of sheep, in an almost arid mountain atmosphere as you approach the summit. A great option for escaping the crowds that come to the Gap of Dunloe by horse-drawn carriage or car. Breathtaking views of the Gap of Dunloe, Killarney's Upper Lake, the Black Valley, the ocean (to the west and south-west) and Ireland's highest peak, Carrauntuohil. This hike can be done as a round trip or a loop.

Walking Strickeen Mountain

Visorando Member
↔4.35 mi ↗+1,273 ft ↘-1,263 ft ◔3h 05 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Ireland
This walk takes you to Strickeen Mountain, which offers a magnificent 360° panoramic view of the entire valley. The ascent to Strickeen is steady and the path is well-marked, making it accessible to any average hiker. It can be very windy at the summit, and a bit muddy on the final stretch to the top, so please wear suitable clothing. This hike can be an additional option to the Gap of Dunloe, as the first part is shared by both routes.
