The Cobbler Hill Walking Trail

First of all — the path to The Cobbler is not on The Chalets, that was just the closest I could get. You can park in car park off the A83 just across from that street (The Chalets). Cross the street and you’re in!
Logistics: The first part of the climb is a steep-​ish zig-​zag through the trees. It’s not too hard, but will get your heart pumping. When you get above the tree line is when things really start to get fantastic. You walk through a magnificent valley filled to the brim with mountain streams, flora, and giant rocks that give the landscape an otherworldly feel. It’s just one gorgeous vista after another, and the best part is it’s mostly flat!
But then… it gets tough. The ascent to the mountain is steep, and you will need serious hiking boots. Don’t make the mistake we did. When you get to the fork, go right. If you go left, it is faster, but it’s also a perilous climb up a rocky riverbed. If you go right, you will stay on a trail which is both easier and safer to climb.
The Cobbler receives rave reviews all over the interwebs, and having tackled it this weekend, I can see why. I didn’t even get to see those spectacular views from the top (it was foggy at the peak) and I was still amazed by it. I’d say anyone who is in reasonably good shape and has a pair of hiking boots and a waterproof jacket can do this round-​trip in under six hours. This is the day trip to beat all day trips! You will be surrounded by beauty and feel amazing afterwards.
