The Great Glen Way
We are located directly on this popular long-distance path making us a great Glen Way hostel option. The path spans 73 miles/117km between Fort William and Inverness and can be walked in 5-6 days. It can also be combined with the West Highland way to form a classic trek from Glasgow to Inverness. For more information and route feedback, check out Walkhighlands.
