Great Glen Way

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 mi / 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 Glen Way is an excellent option. In this blog post, we will provide you with all the information that you need to complete the Great Glen Way, including a map, the route and stages, accommodation, baggage transfer, camping, and more! 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.

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 Isle of Skye is a wild, windswept island at the edge of Europe. It is everything you expect Scotland to be. Green, raw, ever changing weather patterns and more sheep than humans. Right across this mystical island you can find a series of trails that form a long-distance hiking route called the Skye Trail. The trail runs along the spectacular geological landmarks such as the Old Man of Storr and the jagged Cuillin mountains. Meanwhile you can stay in some of the prettiest villages in the country to enjoy a plate of haggis and whisky. We created an exciting 9-day trip that combines the wild, adventurous Skye Trail with spending the night in comfortable, typically Scottish B&B’s. If you would like to go basic, you can opt for our basic version, spending the night in hostels and bunkhouses. The route doesn’t always pass places with accommodation so we organize your transfers between the trail and your spot for the night where needed. Come with us to take a walk on the wild side on the Skye Trail.
