Description
The Great Glen Way is a 117 km route connecting Fort William and Inverness. This short section is easy but still one of the most scenic, with excellent views out over Loch Lochy to the surrounding mountains, including in particular Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis. The lochside section of the route is best walked north to south to give the best views, with the return by the road.
Access Info
The route starts on the B8005 almost 3km north of Gairlochy, where the Great Glen Way drops down to the lochside from the road. There are a couple of small areas nearby where parking is possible. There is good parking at the point where the route rejoins the B8005 at the south end of this section. If transport can be arranged, get dropped off at the north end of the walk and walk south along the shore to where you rejoin the road.
