East Highland Way (Guided & Supported)
The East Highland way is an 82 mile trek which connects Fort William, the outdoor capital of the UK with Aviemore, famous for its mountains and ski resorts. This trail really does have it all, from beautiful forests and to stunning mountain scenery.
The East Highland Way is a great rival to the West Highland Way just much, much quieter! The paths a trail may not be as defined as on the WHW and there are only a handful of way markers on this route. It is a low level walk, sticking to the glens, but does take in some remote country.
