ITINERARY
DAY one
Arrive Bridge of Orchy
In the north of the West Highland Way at the head of Glen Orchy lies a small scattering of houses. Surrounded by rugged highland peaks and pine forests, this remote highland outpost has become a popular stopover for walkers on the West Highland Way. Served by a lone train station, the 4* Bridge of Orchy Hotel is the perfect start before heading into the Scottish Highlands.
Accommodation: Bridge of Orchy Hotel
A 4* hotel which has become recognised for its hospitality and modern Scottish cooking. Begin by unwinding in the bar over a craft beer or local whisky before heading to your ensuite room. Decorated in a traditional style, rooms overlook your stunning, rugged surroundings.
DAY two
Bridge of Orchy to Kingshouse
The day begins with a climb to an excellent viewpoint over Loch Tulla and on a clear day, you’ll enjoy views across to the rugged majesty of Rannoch Moor and Black Mount. Descend to one of Scotland’s remote hotels at Inveroran and join Telford’s historic drove road across the ever-foreboding Rannoch Moor. A vast wilderness of bogs, rivers and rocky outcrops, the ancient military track makes for a memorable walk across this unique environment.
Accommodation: Kingshouse Hotel
Meals: Breakfast
Walking: 20km
Elevation: +450 / -380
Beginning as a humble place of refuge for weary travellers during the 1750’s, the Kingshouse Hotel has evolved to become a real highlight of the West Highland Way. A sanctuary in the wilderness, the hotel bar serves locally sourced beers and single malts, whilst the restaurant menu is a fusion of Scottish and modern European dining. Cosy and comfortable rooms ensure a good night’s sleep and there is an excellent drying room to cater for the unpredictable Scottish weather.
DAY three
Kingshouse to Kinlochleven
Although today is the shortest walk, you will reach the highest point of the West Highland Way. Walking from Kingshouse, warm up with a gentle few kilometres through the Glencoe Valley. Then you will reach the foot of the Devil’s Staircase and the glorious views are a distraction from the climb. At the high point (548m), the long sweeping descent to Kinlochleven unfolds in front of you.
Accommodation: Allt-na-Leven Guesthouse
Meals: Breakfast
Walking: 15km
Elevation: +420 / -630
Formerly the village store, husband and wife, Pauline and Wullie, have lovingly converted the property into a 4* award-winning guest house. Commended for using local produce, Allt-na-Leven prides itself in giving all walkers a warm welcome, large comfortable rooms and a hearty breakfast for the long walk to Fort William. Being centrally located means you’re only a few minutes from the pubs and shops of Kinlochleven.
DAY four
Kinlochleven to Fort William
The day begins with a steady climb out of Kinlochleven and into the hidden valley of Lairig Mor. Flanked by the Mamores Mountains, the wide track passes by the ruins of shepherds’ houses, and in such wild surrounds, it’s hard to imagine the hardships of the farming communities which lived here. On reaching Glen Nevis, the route narrows and rolls through pine forests as you see your first views of Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest mountain (1345m). Finish the day with a descent into Fort William, the end of the West Highland Way.
Accommodation: Myrtle Bank Guest House
Meals: Breakfast
Walking: 30km
Elevation: +720 / -710
