Fort William Hiking Tour

Fort William Hiking Tour Itinerary

Here’s an example Glen Nevis & Glenfinnan hiking tour itinerary. Driving time is 2 hours. An hour for lunch & coffee stops gives us around 5 hours of hiking (15km / 9.3 miles).

• I’ll collect you from your accommodation at 8:30am in Fort William and we’ll drive through Glen Nevis past the mighty Ben Nevis.

• Our first hike is to Steall Falls through Nevis Gorge. It’s the 3rd highest waterfall in Scotland. [2.5 hours / 4km / 2.5 miles]

• We’ll then drive to Neptune’s Staircase and walk the Caledonian Canal to Corpach shipwreck & marina. [1 hour / 4km / 2.5 miles]

• Afterwards, we’ll drive out to Glenfinnan and head to the fantastic Glenfinnan Dining Car for lunch.

• We’ll then walk the Glenfinnan Viaduct Trail in time to see the Jacobite steam train cross the viaduct. [30mins / 2km / 1.3 miles]

• It’s just a short walk back to the car then we’ll drive to Old Inverlochy Castle and possibly grab a coffee at the Highland Soap Co.

• From there, we’ll walk a scenic coastal section of the Great Glen Way. [30mins / 2km / 1.3 miles]

• Afterwards, we’ll head back into Glen Nevis to hike a short section of the Ben Nevis path and idyllic river walk to finish [55 mins / 3.6km / 2.3 miles]

• We’ll round up the day by visiting the famous Ben Nevis Inn.

Please note that some eateries aren’t open every day, so we need to be flexible. I have no control over the steam train so seeing it may not be possible.
