Some days you can be lucky and have epic views like these for your entire hike. 3 peninsulas on show - Di**le to Sneem and Dursey.

The conditions being so dry, we went up the Devil's Ladder and down the Zigzags. 14.5km, 6 hrs, 1050 height gain! 🥾😎👍

Excellent Kerry Tourism event organised by Fáilte Ireland today. So many great businesses collaborating to make Kerry the top holiday destination that it is.

Guest speaker, shared her considerable expertise, insight and experience in promoting the tourism offer. Delighted to meet her and maybe she'll join us on a Sneem hike one of the days. 🥾😎 She was very generous with her time afterwards, meeting everyone and answering questions.

Wonderful taste of what to expect exploring the beautiful trails of Derrynane. A walk here does your soul good 🥾🐝 #LoveKerry #discoverkerry #alaindwalking #walkingadventures

Mountaineering Ireland's Autumn Gathering took place 20-22 October in Sneem, County Kerry. Walkers joined our Mountain Leader Fergal Harrington and Denis O'Sullivan (Kenmare Walking Club) on a guided hike of the Sneem mountains of Knocknagantee and Knockmoyle, with amazing views of valleys, lakes and Kenmare Bay. Listed as a challenging hike, the rewards were most definitely worth it. Everyone was treated to some of the most stunning scenery on the Ring of Kerry. If you're looking for a wild and adventurous hike like this, get in touch with Àlaind today. The event was hosted by Kenmare Walking Club from Sneem Hotel and supported by Sneem Walking Club. Both the weather and company on the walks last weekend were fantastic. #mountaineeringireland #autumn #gathering #sneem #countykerry #knocknagantee #knockmoyle #hiking #adventure #wildatlanticway #ireland #alaindwalking #ringofkerry Mountaineering Ireland Sneem Hotel SneemWalking Club @fergalharrington #explore #sneemwalks #alaindwalking #alaindlodges #AutumnGathering

Fab hiking day....an 'oh so worth it' 12km challenging loop visiting Slievenashaska Lough (fiddle lake) and Coomnahorna 590m in Sneem Dunkerron Mountains. Started and finished on the Lománagh Loop Trail beside us at Álaind Lodges. Full 4.5hr route.

Sneem, Co. Kerry is Activity Heaven

Kerry is a superb location for enjoying all kinds of indoor, outdoor and adventure activities. Blessed with exquisite scenery and lush landscapes, imposing mountain ranges and an Atlantic Ocean breeze never too far away, Sneem in South Kerry is arguably the best location for getting active. At Alaind, we encourage our visitors to explore the Outdoors of Sneem and The Ring of Kerry, which are among the most beautifully diverse regions to visit.

For walking and hiking fans, we have on our doorstep the The Kerry Way walking trail and a number of looped, linear & beach walking trails. Experienced mountain hikers can explore the challenging neighbouring mountain summits of the Dunkerron Mountains, the 600m ridges of which mark the boundary of the neighbouring Irish speaking (Gaeltacht Area). We might also suggest some carefully planned nighttime walking, as this area is an International Dark-Sky Reserve and one of only three gold-tier locations in the world.

Taking a spin around the 180KM Ring of Kerry world famous driving and cycling route is a must do for all cyclists and bikers. The Ring of Kerry loop follows the coastline along the Wild Atlantic Way Drive, taking in the colourful towns of the Iveragh Peninsula. For added pleasure we recommend adding The Skellig Ring and Valentia Island to your roadtrip. On the other side of Kenmare Bay is the quieter but equally beautiful 140KM Ring of Beara which takes its travellers through the scenic vistas of the Healy Pass, The Wild Atlantic Way, the Sheen Valley, and the authentic towns of the Beara Peninsula.

Our mild climate offers visitors the chance for all year round walking, hiking & biking experiences. The North Atlantic Current of the Gulf Stream, helps keep this area of South West Kerry a sub-tropical feel and a few degrees warmer in the colder months than you may expect. With frequent plus 10 degree Celsius temperatures, the crystal clear winter days can even be the best time to visit. The countryside takes on a completely different appearance with hues of golds and browns and the roads practically all to yourself to enjoy.
