You'll see everything – from Scafell Pike - its highest mountain to Wastwater - its deepest lake. At some points, the trail will call on your athletic skill, but if you prepare well and tap into the HIGHLANDER spirit, you can tame it. Although the two formats vary in length, they all share a unique program of activities, from music to yoga and various workshops during which you can interact with others and immerse yourself in the Adventure of a Lifetime.
HIGHLANDER HERCULES
HIGHLANDER Hercules got its name after the Roman mythological hero adapted from the Greek hero Heracles. It is also the second-largest northern constellation and is simultaneously the longest HIGHLANDER route that spans over 5 days.
On a 94 km long trail through this playground for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts, you will witness iconic viewpoints, astonishing peaks, and starry skies.
HIGHLANDER PEGASUS
The second-largest format is named after a constellation in the northern sky, named after the winged horse Pegasus in Greek mythology. It is easily recognisable because it is dominated by a prominent asterism known as the Great Square.
Enjoy a 51-kilometre-long hiking adventure through this world-famous destination for its beautiful lakes and mountainous fells, carved out long ago by glaciers.
