On a clear night at Álaind Lodges in Sneem you’ll see more stars than you ever thought possible. Welcome to the Dark Skies area of Kerry.
Walking in Kerry is an incredible year-round activity, meaning that the best time to go is as soon as you can. Mild weather means our trail loops, beach and coastal walks, Kerry Way long-distance route and the Kerry mountains are waiting for you to enjoy. Here we details some of the best walking options and why you should consider the beautiful village of Sneem and specifically Álaind Lodges B&B as your base for exploring them.
This way-marked trail is 14 KM and follows tarred road, farm track and open hillside. Largely due to its 14 km length, it’s graded as a moderate walk but is quite manageable for all who walk on a regular basis. It should take 4.5 hrs.
Ireland’s Kerry Way is one of the best multi-day walking Trails. Spectacular and varied scenery along the way will simply take your breath away. Being over 200 KM in length precludes many people from experiencing it. But it doesn’t have to, as you can choose to do the best bits and/or do it section by section over a number of visits. You’ll be delighted that you did!
The Mullaghanattin and Beann Horseshoe walk is one the most breathtaking experiences you can have in Kerry’s or indeed Ireland’s mountains. As most walkers head straight to the Macgillycuddy Reeks, Mullaghanattin visitors will likely have the mountains to themselves. The horseshoe is a pleasant test rather than an endurance one, leaving you with sufficient reserves to enjoy an evening afterwards in the village of Sneem.

Carrauntoohil and the Macgillycuddy Reeks range on the Iveragh Peninsula on the ring of Kerry are the most majestic and tallest of Ireland’s mountains. Carrauntoohil is the central peek in this area with a height of 1,040m. These Kerry Mountains between Killarney and Sneem offer arguably the best hiking and walking opportunities in Ireland.

The Kerry Way is one of Ireland longest way-marked or signposted trails and definitely one of the best. Along its length it winds through some of the most beautifully wild and varied landscapes.
