Walking

Lochaber is a walker’s paradise, featuring an unrivalled choice of walks at all levels, coastal, low and high level, gentle to demanding. And The Great Glen Way, just introduced - passes through stunning scenery which has been moulded by thousands of years of troubled history. You follow the Great Glen Way from its start in Fort William through thousands of years of history and legend to Inverness. Loch Ness lurks beside us, guarded by ruined castles and hidden monsters.

This is Scotland's latest official footpath and the walking is on the whole easy as you follow disused roads, forest paths and canal towpaths. There is no better way to unwind and discover Scotland's history.

Cycling

Enjoy superb cycling on single track surfaced roads passing through Scotland's most spectacular mountains. This is road cycling at its best, through national nature reserves and winding past the numerous small lochans and unusual shaped mountains formed during the ice age.

Wildlife

An unspoilt area with a low population, Lochaber provides ideal habitats for a huge range of birds and beasts. In fact, unless you travel with your eyes shut, you are sure to encounter some special creature. Best of all, you don't have to tramp for miles to enjoy exciting wildlife views. Red kites, for example, are easily seen from the car. Ospreys are everyday birds in the nearby Cairngorms National Park and elsewhere.

Red deer, Scotland's largest wild creature, also abound and can often be seen from the road, especially in the cooler months when they move down from the high tops.

Closely associated with this area is the golden eagle. Its home is the high moors, crags and mountain corries in many parts of the area. If you are very lucky you may also encounter the spectacular sea eagle in a few places on the west coast.
