Getting around
Walking
Neptune’s Staircase & the Canal
This easy-going walk follows the banks of the Caledonian Canal - built by Thomas Telford. The route takes in the entrance to the canal from the sea at Loch Linnhe, as well as the famous Neptune's Staircase - a spectacular flight of lochs.
TERRAIN
Easy canal-side paths; care needed crossing busy road if starting at Corpach.
Getting around
Walking
Nevis Range Gondola viewpoint walks
Ride the Nevis Range gondola to reach 650m on the northern slopes of Aonach Mor without effort. This route then follows well-made paths out to two dramatic viewpoints - Sgurr Finnisg-aig and Meall Beag - overlooking the Great Glen, Fort William and beyond.
TERRAIN
Well-made footpaths - stony but suitable for most. Though the walking is relatively easy, the location is very exposed to the elements. In winter the paths are obliterated by snow and full winter hillwalking and mountaineering equipment is needed to walk out from the top station.
Getting around
Walking
Ben Nevis
The highest mountain in the UK so please be sure to read all the precautionary advice before embarking on it. This is a full day’s walk taking approximately 5 hours to climb and 3 to descend but it is worth every minute of effort.
