The Tyndrum Inn (Tyndrum)

With its green hills, fierce weather, whisky distilleries and characterful villages, the Scottish Highlands spark the imagination of many travelers. What’s a better way to experience this magical region than climbing its tallest peak, Ben Nevis! It is in fact the highest mountain in Great Britain and attracts thousands of hiking enthusiasts each year. That doesn’t mean it’s a walk in the park. The hike starts pretty much at sea level and you really have to work hard to earn your views from the summit (weather permitting!). We created what may be the best short trek in Scotland. The combination of the final stage on the West Highland Way and the Ben Nevis hike is a guarantee for a true Scottish hiking experience. Join us for an epic adventure in the rugged hills of Scotland. Fáilte!

The West Highland Way is one of the most famous and beloved long-distance hiking trails in the UK, offering a unique adventure across Scotland’s dramatic highlands. Covering 96 miles (154 km) from Milngavie, just outside Glasgow, to Fort William in the north, the trail immerses hikers in stunning scenery, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. We are Bookatrekking.com and in this blog, we will guide you through the highlights, and will provide you with a stress-free itinerary for tackling the West Highland Way your way. We specialize in creating unforgettable hiking experiences, and the West Highland Way is one of our flagship adventures. We love Scotland: Towering mountains, sweeping valleys, crystal-clear lochs, and vast moorlands create a sense of grandeur and isolation that’s hard to find elsewhere. Not to mention the fine single malts along the way. If you have some time to spare, also make sure to watch the below video. Melynda walked the West Highland Way with us in 2023.
