Description

The Great Glen Way links Fort William and Inverness through the Great Glen fault valley in the Scottish Highlands. Allow roughly 127 km or 79 miles, following the official homepage's headline distance; other sources give different totals, so actual mileage depends on route choices and current diversions. A typical itinerary takes four to seven days along canal towpaths, forest tracks and villages with overnight accommodation. The optional High Route sections around Loch Ness involve steeper walking than the low alternatives; consult the trail authority's updates before departure.

Trail Highlights

Caledonian Canal, pintu air Neptune's Staircase, Loch Lochy, Loch Oich, panorama Loch Ness dari pilihan High Route, dan perjalanan dari Fort William menuju Inverness.
