Great Glen Way: 4-Day Challenging Hike

DAY 1: Arrival in Invermoriston

From your point of arrival, use the public transport information we provide to make the journey to Invermoriston

DAY 2: Invermoriston to Drumnadrochit

High Route: Distance 22km • Approximate Walking Time 6 - 8 hours • Ascent (↑) 740m
Low Route: Distance 24km • Approximate Walking Time 6 - 8 hrs • Ascent (↑) 495m

Stunning views over Loch Ness are your reward today for some steep climbs along forest tracks on the north-side of the lake. If you still have enough energy, we recommend a 4km detour to Urquhart Castle. Or perhaps a pint of the local brew sounds more appealing?

DAY 3: Drumnadrochit to Inverness

31km • 7 - 9 hours • (↑) 480m

The last day and, in terms of length, also the most challenging. Good thing your legs will be perfectly toned after the last few days of hiking! Good variety between forest paths and open moorland on this hike – a nice way to finish your Great Glen experience.

DAY 4: Departure from Inverness

There are regular bus and train services from Inverness to Edinburgh and onwards to Glasgow. Full details provided upon booking.
