Walking and Cycling

The Great Glen is an ideal place for walking and cycling. Take it easy and enjoy the tranquillity on one of the forest shore walks along the cruising route.
The Great Glen Way runs for some 70 miles between Fort William and Inverness and offers superb walking for everyone, as most of it takes you along canal towpaths and forest tracks. For those who are looking for a sporting challenge, there are some peaks to climb around the Great Glen, including Britain's highest mountain Ben Nevis near Fort William - great for hill walkers and mountain bikers; also Ben Tee near Loch Lochy and Meall Fuar-mhonaidh near Drumnadrochit on Loch Ness.
There is also the Great Glen Cycle Route, which shares various sections of the Great Glen Way. Maps may be available from the Forestry Commission on 01463 232811. For more information visit the following websites:
