What to expect
Torc Mountain is located in the National Park of Killarney, County Kerry, some 7km from the town of Killarney. From its summit at 535m, you are treated to spectacular 360º views, right across the national park and the lakes of Killarney to the Dingle Peninsula. A moderate to challenging hike, in places the ground is often steep and uneven, although there is boardwalk for part of the hike. Allow around 2 to 3 hours for the 7.5km route to the summit and set off from Torc Upper Carpark.
