400;\">Loch Coruisk is the inland loch inside the Black Cuill lava chamber on the Isle of Skye. You can get there by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/it\/loch-coruisk-boat-trip-elgol-skye-hotel\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boat from Elgol in half an hour<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is how most visitors arrive. Or you can walk in, which is an altogether longer conversation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a piece about doing Loch Coruisk on foot. It covers the three viable routes, the Bad Step (which is the obstacle that gets talked about and underestimated in roughly equal measure), timings that are honest rather than optimistic, and at the end a note about who each version of the walk is really for.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>The three ways to Walk to Loch Coruisk<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three walks get you to the loch without a boat.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Elgol to Loch Coruisk via Camasunary and the Bad Step.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The coastal route out of Elgol, tracing the shoreline around to Camasunary bay, along the shore of Loch na Creitheach, then round the back of Sg\u00f9rr na Stri to the south-east corner of Loch Coruisk. The Bad Step is on the last mile before the loch. This is the route most walkers take from Elgol to Coruisk and can be started from Coruisk House through Elgol<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/it\/loch-coruisk-on-foot-skye-accommodation\/\"><b>Sligachan to Loch Coruisk<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Around nine miles each way, inland from the Sligachan Hotel through Glen Sligachan, past Loch an Athain and Harta Corrie, over the broad col at Druim Hain, then down to the loch. No Bad Step. Much boggier. Longer time on your feet than the mileage suggests. The classic Cuillin-through-the-middle walk.<\/span><\/p><p><b>The one-way combo.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Boat from Elgol to Loch Coruisk with Bella Jane or Misty Isle (they carry walkers out on the first sailing), walk back via Camasunary and the Bad Step, or walk out via Sligachan. This is the most common configuration for a walker doing Coruisk once.<\/span><\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4960\" src=\"https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Camasunary-Bay.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Camasunary-Bay.webp 1920w, https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Camasunary-Bay-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Camasunary-Bay-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Camasunary-Bay-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Camasunary-Bay-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Camasunary-Bay-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p><h2><b>The Elgol route, mile by mile<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Elgol route sets off from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/p7wgpBhGVb2bvnur7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-57.15, -6.10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and traces round Loch Scavaig to Camasunary bay.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are sheep on the grass and often otters on the shore in the early morning. You are a third of the way to Loch Coruisk in terms of distance and about a fifth in terms of effort, so the \u2018worst\u2019 of the walking is still ahead of you.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Camasunary bothy the path goes west along the coast. You ford the Abhainn nan Leac, which can be knee-deep in spate and ankle-deep in summer. If it is in spate, do not cross. The path climbs onto a shelf above the sea and traverses a steep-sided, broken coastline with Loch Scavaig below. Underfoot it is rough and slippery after rain, and several sections require care because the path is narrow and the drop is real.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You reach the Bad Step about two miles before the loch.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>The Bad Step<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bad Step is a sloping rock gangway, set into a steeper rock face, about fifteen feet above the sea at high tide. You cross it by placing your feet in a gently rising crack that runs diagonally up the slab, with your hands on the rock above. A grade 1 to 2 scramble, in the mountaineering grading system. Most walkers who have any experience of scrambling find it manageable.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few honest notes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The slab is slightly tilted. It is often wet at the top from spray. At high tide with a swell, the spray is constant.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Falling off the Bad Step is not hypothetical. In the last two or three years there have been recorded incidents of walkers going into the sea. One recent report from the Walk Highlands forum community referred to a lady who had fallen into the water a week before a walker posted about managing the Step easily on their attempt. Mountain rescue has taken people off this bit of coast more than once. It is not the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/it\/photography-strathaird-isle-of-skye\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuillin ridge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by any means, but it is not a beach walk either. Almost everyone passes this section without a hitch, but you do need to be careful.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who should not attempt the Bad Step: walkers without any scrambling experience, walkers with knee or hip problems that would stop them reaching high, walkers carrying small children, walkers without stiff boots, walkers in high wind or in heavy rain or in the last hour of daylight. If you are reading this and the Bad Step is sounding like a gamble, the boat option is the better answer.<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4977\" src=\"https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sligachan.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sligachan.webp 1920w, https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sligachan-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sligachan-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sligachan-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sligachan-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/coruiskhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sligachan-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p><h2><b>Sligachan route, in short<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sligachan walk is looking for a long hill walk in without any scrambling. The mileage is about nine miles each way, so eighteen return, but the ground is slow and boggy in long stretches.

No signal in the middle third of the route. River crossings at Harta Corrie and over the Allt a&#8217; Choire Riabhaich can be impassable after rain.
