Carrauntoohil is Ireland's highest mountain at a height
of 1039m. It's a challenging climb, but it's also truly
magnificent.
Standing at 1,039m, Carrauntoohil is the highest
mountain in Ireland and is set among the
beautiful Macgillycuddy Reeks in Co Kerry. Given their
height, this mountain range can have very changeable
weather and can be dangerous at times so experience
or a guide is required if you're new to the area.

The Reeks, with 27 individual peaks, are Ireland's
highest mountain range and cover an area of
around 100 square kilometres from the Gap of Dunloe
in the east to Glencar in the west. Up to 25,000 hill
walkers go adventuring through their vales and hills
every year – it's a brilliant playground!
The range is littered with lakes, forests, cliffs, stunning
ridges and incredible peaks to explore for hikers
of all abilities. Some of the taller mountains like
