The West Highland Way is one of the most popular long distance footpaths in Scotland. It’s a wonderful, but challenging experience for those who undertake the adventure. The West Highland Way covers 95 miles from Milngavie, Glasgow to Glen Nevis, Fort William.

The West Highland Way is a long distance walk that is ordinarily undertaken in sections over 7 to 9 days depending upon personal preference and ability. On the latter sections from Bridge of Orchy through to Fort William we provide reliable individual Backpack and Rucksack Transfers and Private Hire Taxi Service.

Bridge of Orchy – Kings House Hotel

This section covers 12 miles. From Bridge of Orchy the West Highland Way strikes north-east, following a forest track across a low ridge overlooking Loch Tulla. Then, it descends to join the main road heading to the Inveroran Hotel, following the private road beyond into the Forest Lodge estate. Later, the West Highland Way joins old Glencoe drove road that is ascending through magnificent conifers. When the trees clear, spectacular views appear for astonishment. On one side there is a range of mountains (Beinn Toaig, Clach Leathad, Stob Gabhar, Stob a Choire Odhair, Meall a Bhuiridh) that form Blackmount. On the other side – boggy Rannoch Moor stretching for miles into the basin of the Tay. Then, the West Highland Way reaches White Corries, a shallow col not far ahead from the end of the section at the Kings House Hotel. The hotel overlooks the pyramid of rock formed by two summits Creise and Buachaille Etive Mor on either side of the entrance to Glen Etive.

Kings House Hotel - Kinlochleven

This section covers 9 miles. The path follows the old Glencoe road as far as Altnafeadh, before it bears right to rise up the mountainside leading over the Devil's Staircase that is known as one and the most worthy climbing of three ascents on the West Highland Way. From the top of the Devil's Staircase the southern panorama of the Mamores opens to an amazed sight. The descent to Kinlochleven is very long, but smooth. The track is running along moorland through valleys of Choire Odhar Beag and Choire Odhar Mhor stretching out to the Blackwater reservoir. Then, the West Highland Way drops down into the village of Kinlochleven.

Kinlochleven - Fort William

The last section of the West Highland Way covers 15 miles. The path is generally considered to be simple to walk, but you can choose your preferred level of difficulty among alternative starts and endings. The way goes through an old military road heading to Allt Nathrach valley, then, up to Great Pass. The pass goes around the southern side of the Mamores heading along the peaks of Am Bodach, Sgurr an Iubhair, Stob Ban and Mullach nan Coirean over a low ridge of moorland to what was then the garrison town of Fort William. Depending on your preference, you might either finish the section by taking an official route of the West Highland Way via Auchintore in Fort William over into Glen Nevis or by following an alternative route over Cow Hill.

Over the course of the West Highland Way sections from Bridge of Orchy to Fort William, there are various outdoors activities available to peruse: rambling, climbing, scrambling, hillwalking, hiking, cycling, trekking, ice climbing, rock climbing, mountaineering, skiing, snowboarding, and walking.

For example, scramblers, climbers, and hillwalkers do appreciate challenges of Aonach Eagach Ridge and Buachaille Etive Mor Ridge. In fact, Glencoe area is renowned for being the best climbing venue in Scotland.

Aonach Eagach Ridge

The linear ridge runs along the northerly side of Glencoe, and is one of the most known hillwalking challenges in Scotland. The ridge itself runs from Sron Gharbh/Am Bodach in the east to Sgurr nam Fiannaidh in the west, just above the Clachaig Inn. Aonach Eagach Ridge is technically hard to scramble (grade of difficulty is 5), so make sure you are equipped with enough knowledge and proper kit for climbing the ridge. The descents from Am Bodach and the summit of Meall Dearg are considered to be the hardest parts of scrambling the ridge. Slippery steep slopes will make your blood boil.

Buachaille Etive Mor Ridge

The ridge is a fabulous rock climbing venue with the most popular areas of the mountain easily accessible from the car-park by the roadside. Buachaille Etive Mor is orientated south-west to north-east. Stob na Broige lies at the south-west end of the ridge overlooking Glen Etive. As this end of the ridge is steep and craggy, the normal ascents are on the ridge from Stob Dearg or by a direct ascent to the col between Stob Coire Altruim and Stob na Doire, either from the path to the west in Laraig Gartain or from the road in Glen Etive to the east. Depending on your climbing skills, there are several routes available with various rating of difficulty. For example, the route from Stob Dearg to Stob na Broige (4/5 rating) is referred to as the "tourist route" by rock climbers and scramblers. The latter prefer ascending Curved Ridge or other routes up the north-east rock face of Stob Dearg.
