Other walks in the area
Ben Nevis by the Carn Mor Dearg ridge
A very interesting alternative, full of variations, to the normal route to reach the summit of the famous Ben Nevis, the highest peak in Great Britain. It is a wilder variant than the normal route. Without being too technical it remains a solid hike. It allows walkers the opportunity to contemplate the very famous north face of Ben Nevis.
Steall Falls, Ben Nevis area
A nice walk up the valley nearby Ben Nevis to enjoy Steall Falls.
Steall Gorge Waterfall
Located south of Ben Nevis and following the river of the same name (Water of Nevis), this hike to Steall Gorge waterfall is either an alternative to the Mount or a majestic and easy-to-access side walk.
Perfectly signposted, the first part is accessible to all and offers a 150 m view of the entire waterfall.
Crossing a suspension bridge, you can reach the foot of the waterfall, where a prominent rock offers a remarkable podium for hikers.
On the rooftop of Great Britain: Ben Nevis
Here is a magnificent peak held in high regard by our British friends, Ben Nevis. This summit, though in itself not very high relatively speaking, requires a significant climb in altitude because it starts almost at sea level. During the ascent, the views are breathtaking.
Neptune's Staircase Locks and Caledonian Canal
A little walk to visit Neptune's Staircase 8 Locks and Caledonian Canal.
Grey Mares Tail Waterfall, Kinlochmore
A gentle walk through the woods to discover Grey Mares Tail Waterfall.
The West Highland Way - Stage Five (Kinlochleven to Fort William)
The West Highland Way is the most established of Scotland’s long-distance walking routes. This is the fifth of a five stage route, staying at prebooked accomodation along the way. A simple route, with some climbing but mostly sticking to streams and rivers to walk through the valleys whilst appreciating the high mountains from below.
From Kinlochleven to Fort William
The seventh and final stage of the WHW takes us through stunning scenery at the foot of the Mamore range. We then pass through fairly open woodland, offering superb views of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest peak. Our arrival in the town of Fort William marks the end of this multi-stage walk.
