During your week you will be given the opportunity to use these hides – a Ranger will keep you informed of when it is your group’s turn to use these hides.
For Tailormade guests, access to the Ranger-led hides visits must be booked in advance and are subject to availability.

For the majority of the season midges are not a big problem at Aigas.

We also plan our itinerary using a midge forecast to avoid them as much as possible
