The Great Glen Way is a long-distance route that starts in Fort William and ends in Inverness and follows the major natural faultline of the Great Glen which divides Scotland from coast to coast. This extraordinary trail is 79 miles/127 km long and offers its visitors breathtaking landscapes including lochs, hills, and forests. If you are looking for a gentle walk in Scotland, the Great Highland Way is an excellent option.

The Great Glen Way starts at the foot of the impressive Ben Nevis and takes you along the coasts of Loch Lochy, Loch Oich, and the forests above Loch Ness. This route will also guide you through some historical milestones of this turbulent region, past castles, forts, and scenes of some of Scotland’s bloodiest battles. Despite running at lower levels, you can also choose to follow the higher-level option of the Great Glen Way between Fort Augustus and Drumnadrochit. This higher section offers more dramatic views for a little more effort.

On this 8-day trek, you will complete all the stages on the Great Glen Way, from Fort William to Inverness. We will arrange the accommodation and luggage transfer for you, and we will provide you with a detailed itinerary for your adventure. This trek also includes accommodation in Fort William and Inverness before and after the trek.
