A walk through the mountainous north section of the West Highland Way, from Crianlarich to Fort William.
From £355 per person
On old military and drovers’ roads, the north section of the West Highland Way departs Crianlarich and strikes into the mountainous heart of the Highlands. It tours over desolate Rannoch Moor, up through the Aonach Eagach mountains on the Devil’s Staircase, and through the Lairigmor pass to Glen Nevis and Fort William.
This shortened version of the West Highland Way is the perfect way to ensconce yourself in Scottish mountain scenery.
Climbing the challenging highland section of the West Highland Way.

Please note that accommodation along the West Highland Way is in extremely high demand, so be sure to await confirmation of your booking before making firm travel plans. If you wish to enjoy a similar Scottish walk, both the East Highland Way and the Loch Lomond & Cowal Way are excellent alternative trails to consider.
As an additional side-effect of this high demand, accommodation providers at the Kingshouse and Bridge of Orchy overnight stops have limited availability for their standard rooms. If these rooms are not available, an additional supplement may be necessary, or alternatively, transfers to nearby accommodation may be provided. You will be contacted if this circumstance should arise for your booking.
