The Great Glen Way runs for 111km (69.5 miles) from Fort William to Inverness. It follows the length of the Great Glen, the obvious geological fault in the Scottish Highlands, linking an outdoors town on the West Coast with Scotland's city in the Highlands.
The route sticks to good tracks and paths, often in forests and alongside the Caledonian Canal, but also running across open moorland. As long-distance paths go, the GGW is one of the easier ones. The terrain is simple and the ascent is moderate, so that the main challenge comes in the distance walked. The last stage to Inverness is the hardest of all but a fitting finish to the trek. After days in the countryside, find yourself walking through riverside gardens into a bustling town centre.

This holiday covers the whole route from Fort William to Inverness, missing out nothing. We can also move your baggage between stops, as an extra, to reduce your load. Logistics on the Great Glen Way are quite manageable and you are never too far from civilisation.
Your accommodation along the Great Glen Way is a good mix of guesthouses and B&Bs, with a characterful inn and a comfy small hotel. We love to book our clients into places with warm welcomes and excellent standards.
