The West Highland Way is Scotland's most popular long-distance walking trail, possibly because it runs through some of the most iconic landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. The route is 96 miles long and runs from Milngavie to Fort William. On the way, you will walk through moorland, mountain passes, glens, and some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Scotland.

The route is traditionally divided into 7 stages but you can arrange it depending on your fitness level and experience. We have prepared this 5-day trek for those trekkers who are experienced and are used to walking several hours a day. The average walking time on this 5-day tour is 9 hours per day, so make sure that you are prepared for such a challenge. This trek also includes accommodation in Glasgow and Fort William before and after your WHW adventure. We will take care of all the accommodation arrangements so you only have to worry about enjoying the trek!
