About this trip

On this 8 km moderately difficult 4 hr experience, we’ll explore the wild and rugged lower slopes of the Dunkerron Mountain as we discover the three lakes above Sneem. 


We meet at Álaind Lodges, Moularostig Sneem, V93AC80 at 9:45 AM with time to enjoy a quick tea/coffee and introduction.


We’ll enjoy views of Dromtine, Coomnacronia and Eagles Lake with the impressive Coomanassig waterfall. 


This walk combines stone paths and unmarked trails across open moorland. Some extended periods of gradual ascent require a reasonable level of walking fitness. Suitable clothing, waterfproof boots and a walking pole are required. 

Highlights of This Walk


  •  Walking off-trail through wild countryside in the lower slopes of the Dunkerron Mountains.
  • Exploring this amazing geological sandstone mountain wonderland.
  • Spectacular views across Dromtine Lake, the valleys to Sneem village, Kenmare Bay and the Caha Mountains of Beara.
  • Taking a break by the waters of Lough Coomnacronia.
  • Marveling at the towering 260 metre corrie cliff of Eagle Lake.
  • Fabulous photo opportunities of 130m high Coomanassig waterfall.
  • Traversing the open moorland long ago smoothed by the deposits of ice age glaciers.
  • Possible encounters with sheep, hares, mountain goats, huge ravens and perhaps the white-tailed sea eagles.
