The Great Glen Way

Great walk with changing country. Really clear signposting. The high point was fort Augustus to invermoriston on the high route even with the steep down.

A wee walk in the woods! Blessed with wonderful weather, the wet gear stayed packed and the sunscreen came out. Wonderful scenery and we met some nice fellow walkers along the way. Lots of variety with canal boat "lock action", activities at Ft Augustus, tall mast yachts passing through the forest, dark forest trails on pine needles, and "goat tracks" above the tree line looking down on the lochs. The app worked perfectly, as did the luggage transfer. The accommodation hosts were friendly, informative and often went "above and beyond". It is more "moderate" than "introductory". 130km, 190,000 steps, 1540m ascent, highest 426m a.s.l. so a bit of training might be needed.

The Great Glen Way was a beautiful trail to do as a first time solo hiker. The first couple of days fairly easy going before getting into steeper longer sections in the second half. Spectacular views of Loch Ness. Take the high route options whenever you can. The guesthouses were a highlight - cosy rooms and welcoming hosts always up for a chat. Luggage transfer worked seamlessly. Maps easy to follow and the trail was well signposted.

The trip went very smoothly--our bags were moved along to each place where we were staying in a timely manner. All accommodations were excellent in every instance. It was a stress-free walking trip!

We recently finished walking the Great Glen Way in Scotland. It was a wonderful time, our agent Peggy was very helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed the walk and the places we stayed.
