Corrour, at a height of 1,338 feet, is the highest station on the British Rail network and one of the most remote.  Located in the vast wilderness of Rannoch Moor and not accessible by public road, the station offers access and adventure for walkers and climbers to a challenging part of Scotland. In winter it can be very demanding and dangerous for all but the most experienced of walkers who are competent and properly equiped to navigate and survive in extreme arctic conditions. The station also provides access to a remote youth hostel located on the western shore of Loch Ossian. 

There is a bar/restaurant also providing accommodation beside the station,though due to the isolation of this location, it is essential to check on availability before relying on this facility.
