The Three Sisters and the Lost Valley
A superb hike with a magnificent view over the whole region! Please note: there are some very technical sections bordering on rock climbing. Good walking boots are essential as there are stony sections. Only attempt this in good weather.

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.

The sixth stage of the WHW takes us past the highest point of the entire walk, an unnamed pass at an altitude of 550 metres. After a pleasant walk at the foot of Beinn a’ Chrùlaiste, we reach the pass by climbing theDevil’s Staircase, which is easier than the name of this path might suggest. We then descend along good paths or wide tracks towards the former small industrial town of Kinochlevel.

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.
