Our season on the WHW is underway. Please contact us to chat about a trek on this magnificent route. Bring your dog too! New for 2010 we can offer the continuation to Inverness on the Great Glen Way.

The West Highland Way runs for 152km (95 miles) from Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, to Fort William, the hub of the Western Highlands. Finish your trek in style underneath Britain's highest mountain Ben Nevis.

The walking is excellent underfoot. Enjoy the mix of old military tracks over the Highland moors, solid narrow paths in forests, and lochside trails. There are many attractions to this famous walk - the scenery being foremost among them. Starting in the rolling hills north of Glasgow the scenery builds up before reaching Loch Lomond. A long stretch on the lochside leads walkers into the mountainous country that is the theme for the rest of the route. Further on, the Way skirts Rannoch Moor to reach the head of Glencoe, lastly approaching Glen Nevis through a high valley with Ben Nevis ahead.

As a walking holiday, the West Highland Way excels due to the convenience of the staging posts, the interest along the way, and the easy access to the start and finish. This holiday covers the whole route from Milngavie to Fort William, missing out nothing and giving you true hiking satisfaction. We can also move your baggage between stops, as an extra, to reduce your load.

Your accommodation along the West Highland Way is a good mix of friendly guesthouses and B&Bs, characterful inns and comfy small hotels.
