Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive Fort William and overnightLying in the shadow of Ben Nevis at the head of Loch Linnhe sits Scotland’s outdoor capital - Fort William.
Glasgow and Inverness are the closest airports to Fort William and regular trains and buses connect to Fort William.
The Nevis Bank at Fort William is a modern Inn on the banks of the River Nevis and at the entrance to Glen Nevis. All rooms are stylishly decorated to a high standard using walnut wood furniture and luxury fabrics, bathroom suites are modern and designed with you in mind. Start your day in Browns Restaurant with a hearty breakfast or take your pick from the healthy options that their buffet offers. Their kitchen team endeavour to offer an exciting and extensive menu prepared from Scotland’s natural larder, their Head Chef sources the freshest produce to bring you a taste of Scotland. The extensive lunch and evening menu offers a wide range of seafood, pastas, risottos and meat dishes, there’s something for everyone.
With it’s attached art gallery the 19th century Lime Tree Hotel provides a unique overnight near the centre of Fort William. We recommend dining here in their characterful Michelin Guide listed restaurant before retiring to your individually designed bedroom.
You will be met with a sense of peace in this inviting and welcoming Victorian House which has been lovingly restored. Enjoying afternoon tea on arrival in the comfortable sitting room or on the quiet patio. Their 5 luxurious suites are all designed to provide you with a unique experience and a great overnight stay.
Fort William is a bustling town and very popular among climbers and walkers as it sits at the base of Ben Nevis, Britain’s tallest peak. Follow the river Lochy with short detours possible to Old Inverlochy Castle or Ben Nevis Distillery. After briefly following the banks of Loch Linnie, you reach Corpach where the Caledonian Canal meets the Atlantic (make sure you dip your feet!).
Follow the towpath northeast to Banavie and Neptune’s Staircase, a series of canal locks that raise the canal 80 feet in just the length of 400 feet. Continue along the canal towpath as it winds its way through stunning countryside above the River Lochy. Gairlochy appears all too soon. You walk further to Spean Bridge along the B8004 and take in parts of General Wade’s military road (mid 18th Century).
Ascent/Descent: +92m/-48m
The Great Glen Way is an extremely popular route and the accommodation is limited, therefore we book a hotel or guest house in Spean Bridge for you. This means that you may walk further on this day (4.5 miles), or the next day, or you may be able to use public transport to get to your accommodation and back onto the trail the next day. You may also book a service from your accommodation in advance.
All rooms are on the first floor, tastefully decorated with calming colours and are well appointed. Each room has TV, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities and mineral water. Luxury towels and linen are provided as well as soaps and toiletries from our local “Highland Soap” shop located in the village and throughout the Highlands.
Old Pines is a very special place to stay. Experience the beauty of their picturesque location, cosy yet luxurious rooms and the indulgence of organic, home-cooked food. On arrival, you will be greeted with fresh tea and home-made scones then you can settle into your luxury room to unwind.
From Gairlochy you follow the shore of Loch Lochy on forest tracks through land owned by the Cameron clan. Achnacarry was also home to one of the toughest commando training camps, and the nearby museum highlights the remarkable conditions they endured. After Clunes, the road continues on fire tracks above Loch Lochy all the way to South Laggan and the locks.
There is a wonderful pub and seafood restaurant on a moored barge at Laggan Locks called the Eagle Inn; great for an afternoon pint or a fantastic evening meal. Your accommodation is generally a mile or so from Laggan locks.
Ascent/Descent: +296m/-511m
If you were accommodated in Spean Bridge you may walk to Gairlochy first or make arrangemant for a service or use public transport to get back to the Great Glen Way.
The Great Glen Way is an extremely popular route and the accommodation is limited. We may need to book upgraded accommodation in Invergarry if Laggan is not available (A supplement for this may be payable on confirmation). If staying overnight in Invergarry, your mileage on this day will be slightly longer, followed by a shorter walk the following day. You may also be able to use public transport to get to your accommodation and back onto the trail the next day. We will provide all the information needed, should that be the case. If you would prefer a private transfer, please let us know at time of confirmation so we can organize this for you.
Glengarry Castle Hotel is a comfortable country house hotel located on the shores of Loch Oich, between Loch Ness and Loch Lochy. All 26 bedrooms are individually furnished and have private bathroom, tea and coffee making facilities and free Wi-Fi is available in all bedrooms, Library and Lounge.
Your day starts at Laggan Bridge, which is the highpoint of the Caledonian Canal at 106ft above sea level. Initially, you follow the eastern shore of Loch Oich, one of Scotland’s most beautiful and pristine natural woodlands, which is teeming with bird and wildlife. Once you reach the end of Loch Oich, at Oich Bridge, you follow the canal for a few miles along to Fort Augustus. This is a lovely section of canal, and Kytra Lock is one of the highlights of the entire walk.
Fort Augustus is a busy little town and is centred on a series of locks which are always a hive of activity. It is a great spot to spend a relaxed afternoon or evening.
Ascent/Descent: +198m/-211m
The Lovat, Loch Ness is a landmark Victorian hotel overlooking the loch side village of Fort Augustus. This exceptional Highland hotel is surrounded by stunning scenery as it sits at the southern tip of the mysterious deep waters of Loch Ness. It is an eco-conscious Loch Ness hotel, with a character & class of its own. Its grace & charm is complimented by natural décor, modernism & a genuine, warm hospitality offered by a devoted & passionate team.
At Fort Augustus you leave the canal and begin our journey on the banks of Loch Ness. This section has some steep climbs and is mainly on fire roads and some good tracks. You have great views of Loch Ness throughout so make sure you keep those eyes peeled for the monster - you might be lucky. Invermoriston is your overnight stop and a very pretty little village.
Ascent/Descent: High Route: +450m/-420m; Low Route: +187m/-142m
The original hotel built on this site dates back from 1740 - 6 years before the battle of Culloden when the building was originally a drover’s inn, a stopover point for farmers taking their cattle to and from market. Surprisingly some of this original structure remains in place today forming the Moriston bar and also the reception area. The hotel has eleven bedrooms, seven of which are in the main building and are traditionally and individually furnished. They also have three contemporary styled tavern rooms with private access – these rooms are external to the main building but just a few feet from the door.
As you leave Invermoriston the path climbs steeply until you are high above Loch Ness, it then descends again to the Lochside after three miles and climbs again, so yes, a tougher day of walking today. Most of the section is spent on woodland paths and tracks on the steep sides of the Glen. A great day's walk ends in Drumnadrochit, famous for its proximity to Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness Monster experiences. You should have enough time to explore at least one of these attraction.
Ascent/Descent: High Route: +598m/-616m; Low Route: +559m/-573m
Originally built in 1847 as a local brewery, the 160-year-old building used to trade as The Lewiston Arms Hotel and has been sympathetically restored. The rooms are all individually designed and styled using inspiration from Lochs and Glens of the Highlands. Dining in the restaurant is a great experience – they source all their produce locally and serve their award-winning Michelin dishes all day. You can also enjoy a great selection of Scottish whiskey and real ales in their Brewery bar.
You will start your morning with a transfer from your overnight stay in Drumnadrochit to Loch Laide. The walk from Loch Laide follows a steady route down towards Loch Ness descending through woodlands and forestry. Finish off todays walk by enduring a small section on the busy A82 to your overnight accommodation in Drumnadrochit.
Ascent/Descent: +218m/-464m

Transfer from Drumnadrochit, avoiding the busy A82 section of the Great Glen Way, to Loch Laide (approx. 15 mins). Initially you follow a minor road for a few miles and then at Blackfold you branch off through the forest before beginning your descent down towards Inverness and the Moray Firth. A mile before the end of the Way you once again meet the Caledonian Canal. The way turns right instead and follows the River Ness into the centre of Inverness and Inverness Castle, which marks the end of your wonderful journey across Scotland.
Ascent/Descent: +153m/-411m
Rocpool Reserve Hotel and Restaurant is located near the heart of Inverness, just a few minute’s walk from the high street and Inverness Castle. The boutique hotel (Inverness' only 5 star establishment), has 11 rooms with 4 different types to choose from: hip, chic, decadent or extra decadent, all equipped with the latest in technology. From the hotel you are ideally based to explore the magnificence of the Scottish Highlands.
The trees on the grounds of Ness Walk have given name to our luxurious rooms and suites – Laurel, Cedar Oak, Rowan and Wellingtonia.The interiors reflect the seasonal landscape with a flow of soft colours and textiles. Many of our 47 spacious and stylish en-suite rooms offer beautiful views, either to the courtyard and river beyond, or the verdant gardens. All are filled with natural light, featuring bespoke elements, such as carpeting resembling the River Ness as it approaches the riverbank.
The Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel is one of the most respected 4* city centre hotels in Inverness. And rightly so! You are assured the warmest of welcomes at this splendid property, wonderfully located on the tree-lined riverbank terrace close to the city centre. The en suite rooms contain all that one would expect for a most comfortable stay, with crisp Egyptian cotton bed linen and super cosy pillows and duvets.
Your trip ends after breakfast. Inverness has excellent transport links by road, rail and air to destinations throughout Scotland and the UK.

You can start your walk on the Great Glen Way between late March and the beginning of October from Monday-Saturday, this is due to the accommodation in Spean Bridge/Gairlochy being closed on Mondays. The Great Glen Way is very popular, as are the higher standard accommodations we use on this itinerary, so it is best to book as far in advance as you are able to.
By Air: Inverness and Glasgow Airports are the most convenient. From Inverness Airport catch the bus (2 hours) or arrange a private transfer to Fort William. From Glasgow Airport take the shuttle bus into Glasgow city centre and then the train (4 hours) or bus (3 hours) to Fort William.
By Train: Between 3 and 4 trains run daily from Glasgow to Fort William and the journey takes around 4 hours. Widely regarded as one of the world’s great rail journeys this is a great way to start your trip. Visit Scotrail's website for timetables and tickets.
By Bus: Scottish Citylink operates up to 8 departures per day from Glasgow to Fortwilliam (3 hours) and up to 8 buses per day from Inverness (2 hours) to Fort William. Visit Scottish Citylink's website for timetables and tickets.
By Car: Fort William is 100 miles (approx. 3 hours) north of Glasgow on the A82. Parking (not secure) is available in Fort William. You can sometimes leave your car at the properties we use in Fort William, but please request this at the time of booking.
Private Transfers: We can arrange private transfers from Glasgow, Inverness or Edinburgh to the start/end of your walk; just ask us for a quote. This is often the smoothest way to begin or conclude your adventure.
Journey Planning: If travelling by public transport the website www.travelinescotland.com has an excellent journey planner.
Inverness has excellent transport links by road, rail and air to destinations throughout Scotland and the UK. Use the websites listed above for timetables and tickets.
Your bags will be collected from your accommodation each day and moved onto your overnight accommodation. We ask you to limit your luggage to one bag of up to 18kg per person.
At Macs Adventure, we work in partnership with many luggage transfer providers who set a limit on how many bags/suitcases they will transfer per person, and also the weight of the bag/suitcase. Your booking includes transfer of 1 bag per person. It is very important that you read the luggage information specific to your tour before departure. If you do not adhere to these limits, there is a great possibility that you will be charged locally both for extra bags or if they are too heavy. This limitation can be a challenge, especially as airlines generally have limits that are higher. However, our luggage providers have reasons for these limits (usually due to the Health and Safety of their employees), which we must respect.
The distances and ascent/descents are approximations of the recommended routes. Please be prepared by packing all necessary items, for example, proper rain gear (jacket and pants), sun hat, sunscreen. Your information pack has a detailed equipment list which includes standard walking gear such as good walking boots or shoes, warm and waterproof clothes for the cooler months and lightweight clothing for summer, and a day pack.
Online Documents
At Macs Adventure we care about the environment! We’re taking action to minimize the impact we have by converting the majority of our tour documentation for online delivery.
On this tour, all your detailed tour information will be digitally delivered. You will have access to this documentation via “My Account” on our website.
Please be prepared by packing all necessary items, for example, proper rain gear (jacket and pants), sun hat, sunscreen. Your information pack has a detailed equipment list which includes standard walking gear such as good walking boots or shoes, warm and waterproof clothes for the cooler months and lightweight clothing for summer, and a day pack.
The Great Glen Way is a relatively easy walking trail, and if you are a regular walker or lead an active lifestyle, you will enjoy the trail. If you currently don’t enjoy that level of fitness, regular walking supplemented by cardiovascular exercise for at least six months before your walk is recommended. A good gym or personal trainer will be able to draw up a personalised training programme.
We suggest you book as soon as your plans are finalised as the Great Glen is extremely popular especially over April/May and July/August. You will find up to date availability on our website, and we will always try and accommodate your plans.
You will need good walking shoes/boots (ideally waterproof), comfortable walking clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, a daypack and hats/gloves etc.
Your bags will be transferred from your accommodation as per your itinerary and moved on to your next overnight accommodation. We ask you to limit your luggage to one bag of up to 18kg per person.
Traditionally April/May has always been the most popular time of year because the theory goes that the weather is better and the midges have not yet appeared. Although having walked the way in every summer month, I believe any time between late March and October offers a wonderful experience.
Fort William is the gateway to the Highlands and is serviced by local train and bus services! With these services, you can connect easily to the start of the Great Glen Way trail with direct trains running from Glasgow city centre to Fort William (approx.. 4 hours). Getting back from Inverness is also easy, and there are again train and bus services onwards to Glasgow and Edinburgh city centres. Please check our local journey planner Traveline Scotland for more information.
Midges are small biting insects (much like North American gnats) which are prevalent in the summer months. They are particularly bad on still, overcast days but do not bother you if you are moving, the wind is blowing, the sun is shining, it’s raining, or you are inside. As long as you carry repellent for the odd occasion you may need it they shouldn’t have any impact on your experience.
Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate walkers with dogs as many of the accommodation providers we use do not accept pets, and several sections of the way are closed to dogs as they are permissive paths through farmland.
You can use public transport or local taxis to continue to your next overnight stop.
