The Great Glen Way
Explore the Great Glen Way, one of Scotland's iconic hiking trails, on an affordable self-guided walking tour that includes cosy accommodation with breakfasts, 24/7 support, navigation app and daily luggage transfers.
Opened in April 2002, this long distance walking trail travels right through the very heart of Scotland. From Fort William to Inverness you'll discover the highlights that make this area such a magnet for walkers.
Pass by the foot of Ben Nevis (1344m), the highest mountain in the UK. Follow undulating forest tracks along the shores of Loch Ness and walk through a mixture of farmland, exposed high moorlands and woodland as you make your way to the capital of the Highlands, Inverness.
Along the route you will also encounter the forts and castles scattered along the way that lay witness to Scotland's turbulent past, from the Iron Age to the Jacobite Rebellion led by Bonnie Prince Charlie who was finally defeated at the Battle of Culloden.
Stay at the charming towns of Invermoriston and Drumnadrochit. Take the time to explore Urquhart castle and you may even spot '"Nessie" in Loch Ness, keep an eye out!
Shorten your trip to five days on the Highlights of the Great Glen Way walking tour, or explore by boat on the Great Glen Way Hike & Barge.
