Clencoe
Glencoe is perhaps Scotland’s most
famous and most scenic glen. Glencoe
is also arguably Scotland’s most
historic glen, and it was recently voted
as Scotland’s most romantic glen.
Glencoe is not only a holiday centre for
hillwalking and mountaineering, it is also
an ideal base from which to explore the
Highlands of Scotland.

FORT WILLIAM - HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Lying in the shadow of Ben Nevis, Fort William is the ‘Outdoor Capital of the
UK’ and the main town in Lochaber.
As one of the major resorts of the Highlands, the town commands an
important position and is easily accessible from Glasgow and the central
belt. Fort William’s setting is dramatic, on the shore of Loch Linnhe, and
under the mighty hulk of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. There is a
footpath to the top of the mountain starting close to the town.
Just a few minutes from the town is Glen Nevis, one of Scotland’s most
picturesque Highland glens. The glen is formed from the flank of Ben Nevis
and two other mountains and has the River Nevis flowing through it. The
Nevis Range ski, snowboard and mountain biking centre on Aonach Mor is
one of the town’s major attractions. A gondola takes visitors 2,000 ft up the
mountain for amazing views and access to the ski slopes. The centre hosts
the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in June every year.
