Itinerary
An extended version of the 8 day walk with shorter days to discover the stunning Scottish Highlands from Loch Lomond to Ben Nevis. This tour follows the 96-mile West Highland Way national long-distance trail through the south-western part of the Scottish Highlands. It is claimed by some to be the most popular long distance trail in the British Isles and is known as Scotland's best loved long distance route. It is the perfect entry-level long distance hike.
This itinerary begins at the official start of the West Highland Way at the obelisk in Milngavie just outside Glasgow. Your walk will include Loch Lomond, valley routes through the mountains round Crianlarich and open heather moorland across the Rannoch Moor wilderness area. You will pass close to sombre Glencoe, famed for its massacre of the MacDonald Clan, and finishes at Fort William near the foot of Ben Nevis. This is Britain's highest peak, which can be readily ascended if you're an experienced walker and aks our team to arrange an extra night in Fort William.
On this itinerary, the long stretch between Ardlui and Inveroran is split over two days. You can also opt for our 8-day itinerary that covers the walk in just one day with the option to shorten the route with an included taxi transfer.
The West Highland Way is a well-established and popular hiking route in Scotland, containing some landscapes of great beauty. The altitude range is from sea level to 1850 ft (4408 ft if Ben Nevis is climbed).

Great time thanks for checking in on me and advising me about the weather, helping with transportation and setting up the accommodations.
Excellent trip. Lots of fun with great service.
Excellent trip. We were fully prepared for what was in store and accommodations were decent. Note for travelers from North America. Hotels and Guest Houses are not like what we are used to in terms of A/C and size but that is typical in Europe.
Informative, true to the beauty, might rate it a moderately hard hike verouis moderate. But we were older hikers.
No rain, no midges, no compedes, no baggage transfer problems-very enjoyable trip!
Great walk. Made even better by the choice of hotels and B&B's. Luggage transfer was seamless. Their app is excellent. Useful information and the map to avoid straying off track also excellent.

We felt the organisation was excellent. All accommodations were good to very good and luggage transfer was perfect. It's just a shame you couldn't organise the weather as well!
The Scenery was fantastic and we enjoyed the trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone the logistics were seamless. Be prepared for a lot of litter of toilet paper due to the lack of toilets and people not following the rules of burying it.
This walk exceeded our expectations. Overall the accommodation was better than we thought it would be, the bag transfer was seamless and the walk itself was spectacular.
Beautiful trail through green, green Western Highlands.
The communication with Peggy was amazing and the amount of information provided was extremely helpful. Everything Peggy organized went as planned without any issues.
I am very grateful to Peggy, and her crew. The customer support was excellent.
