Hiking Scotland’s West Highland Way
Self-Guided Itinerary
Drymen to Fort William, Scotland
The completion of The West Highland Way, one of Scotland’s classic long-distance foot paths, was in
1980. Taking almost 20 years to complete, it offers some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery.
Beginning near Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, and following alongside Britain’s largest body of inland
water, Loch Lomond, the route ends in Fort William at the foot of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain.
The Scottish Highlands and Lowlands are separated by the Highland Boundary Fault, which runs through
the middle of Loch Lomond, creating both a contrast in geology as well as human history of the two
areas. Along this 95-mile route through Scotland, you will hike through a variety of landscapes; moorland
and heath, river valleys and farmland, mountains and woodlands.
Traveling on foot is a wonderful way to experience Western Scotland. You’ll stay at old inns, small hotels,
and B&B’s. After a hearty Scottish breakfast each day, you will set off toward your next destination, either
picnicking along the way or enjoying the hospitality of local pubs and restaurants. From village to village,
from the central lowlands to the heart of the Highlands, you’ll have the opportunity to explore this route
while at the same time enjoying the changing landscapes from day to day. Spending two nights in
Rowardennan on the shore of Loch Lomond will give you the opportunity to climb Ben Lomond (3,195 ft),
one of Scotland’s notable Munro’s, a mountain over 3000 feet high. The route will end in Fort Williams at
the foot of Ben Nevis, the official end of the “Way.”
Itinerary
CHAMPS
September 10 – 19, 2015
Location: Western Scotland
Length: 10 Days
Accommodations: Inns, small hotels and B & B’s
Grade: moderate and some strenuous

At note about the difficulty of this hike: this hike is not as strenuous as Slovenia, however it is not
easy. We grade it moderate with some strenuous. All hikers need to be comfortable on varied
terrain including roots, rocks and cobbled roads. We have done our best to describe the terrain
but it is impossible to be exact. There are taxi options each day should you opt to take a day off.
Day 1: September 10: Arrive Drymen
Private group transfer from the airport to Dryman, travel time is about 45 minutes. This village, with its
quaint village green, boasts one of the oldest registered pubs in Scotland, established in 1734. Overnight
at a country house hotel located in a quiet part of town not far from the village square. The hotel has an
indoor pool with sauna, steam room, and spa facilities. Dinner and breakfast included.
Day 2: September 11: Dryman to Balmaha
Leaving Dryman on foot you join the West Highland Way footpath just outside of the village. Walking on a
wide track the route ascends gradually through the Garadhban Forest as you approach the first major
climb of the route, Conic Hill (1184’). From the top you’ll have great views of Loch Lomond and the
mountainous Scottish countryside. After a steep descent you will arrive in the small village of Balmaha on
the shore of Loch Lomond. Britain’s largest body of water, 23 miles long, Loch Lomond was formed by a
glacier about 10,000 years ago. Elevation gain: 1,700’; Elevation loss: 1,000’; Distance: 7 miles; Hiking

time: 4 - 5 hours. Breakfast included, dinner on your own, there is a pub and a restaurant to choose
from at the inn. The inn has more than one building and you may be in staying in a building that is a five
minute walk from the main building. There is a national park visitor’s center just across the street.

Hiking Terrain: The route today begins on a dirt path alongside a road, then it climbs gradually
on a dirt road. When you reach Conic Hill the trail becomes narrower, a hiking trail, with some
rocks and with some rock steps built in. The route down to Balmaha is steep, but not long, with a
series of narrow stone steps, like a roman road, and then dirt steps as you enter the forest and
finish on a nice gentle path.

Alternate Transportation Options: Local taxi in Drymen or bus service to Balmaha. It is 4.2
miles by road. The taxi cost about £8.
Day 3: September 12: Balmaha to Rowardennan – two nights in Rowardennan
Your day begins with a side trip to the small island of Inchcailloch, where there are a number of trails, and
beautiful views looking back at Ben Lomond and down the length of Loch Lomond. There is a small ferry
to the island which takes about 10 minutes. One of the five islands at the mouth of the Endrick River
managed as a nature reserve, Enchcailloch, “a jewel in Loch Lomond”, is well worth the trip. This side trip
takes about 2 – 3 hours.

Hiking Terrain: The trails on island of Inchcailloch are dirt hiking trails, nicely graded with some
ups and downs, but with easy footing.
Once the ferry has brought you back to Balmaha, the route to Rowardennan follows along the “bonnie
banks” of Loch Lomand, with its native woodlands, rocky coves and small beaches. You should reach
Rowardennan with some time to explore and relax. Elevation gain: 1400’; Elevation loss: 1291’; Distance:
7 miles; Hiking time: 4 - 5 hours. The hotel is located on Loch Lomond, and Breakfast and dinner
included.

Hiking Terrain: Hiking to Rowardennan from Balmaha is a combination of road, some sandy
beach, a small hill in the beginning, and then the last couple of miles up and over a series of
small hills. The footing is gentle, though when you reach the series of hills there are some
ascents on stones, with some roots.

Alternate Transportation Options: Local taxi available for transfer Rowardennan; it is 6.5 miles
by road. The taxi cost about £16
Day 4: September 13: Hike Ben Lomond and return to Rowardennan for a second night
In 1891 Sir Hugo Munro published the first list of all Scotland’s peaks over 3,000’. Until then there had
been much debate as to exactly how many 3,000’ peaks there actually were in Scotland. Since then
these peaks have been referred to as “The Munros”.
Ben Lomond, (3,195’) is the most southerly of Scotland’s Munro’s. It stands high above Loch Lomond and
is the first real mountain you will pass along the West Highland Way. There are two routes to the summit,
which you may hike as a circular route, hiking up one of them and down the other. If you prefer a shorter
hike you may hike the main route up the mountain and turn around and come back the same way at any
point. From the summit of Ben Lomond, there are superb views of both the Highlands and the Lowlands.
Elevation gain: 3,045’; Elevation loss: 3,045’; Distance: 7.5 miles; Hiking time: 6 hours. Returning to the
Rowardennan. Hotel for a second night, dinner and breakfast is included.

Day Hike: This is and an “out and back” hike up Ben Lomond or a loop hike. If you opt for the out
and back hike you can turn around at any time. The loop hike is a challenging hike, with longer
distance and rougher terrain. Both are exposed the entire way.

Hiking Terrain for out and back hike: The main route up the mountain is a wide worn rocky dirt
CHAMPS - Self-Guided Scotland: The West Highland Way 2015 - Page 2 of 5
Distant Journeys © All Rights Reserved
path, with steady elevation gain, but very manageable. There is one short section in the
beginning with a little scramble over rock slabs, but we don’t think it is too difficult.

Hiking Terrain for Loop Hike: This route will add about 2 hours to your hiking time. It is less
used, and more challenging. It is a narrow dirt trail and is steep in places. The last section, about
45 minutes to an hour, is over large boulders and stone steps to the summit.
Day 5: September 14: Rowardennan to Inversnaid and Transfer to Bridge of Orchy
Leaving the Rowardennan, your hike continues along the shores of Loch Lomond. This section is
considered by many to be the most “arduous” section of the “Way”. There really is a high road and the
low road, naturally. You will be hiking the more scenic of the two, which is the low road. The trail hugs the
shore crossing sections encumbered by boulders and tree roots, but is well worth the effort.
The scenery is spectacular as you hike among an oak forest with views across the Loch, including the
landmark of the “Cobbler,” a rugged mountain on the opposite side. You will arrive in Inversnaid, where
there is a large hotel, for lunch. You may picnic, purchase a sandwich, or eat in their restaurant. Early
afternoon around 2:00 o’clock you will board a ferry, crossing Loch Lomond in less than an hour, to
Tarbet. Here, a private bus will meet you for your transfer to Bridge of Orchy. You will have the
opportunity to a stop along the way at The Drover’s Inn, the oldest, and a very interesting pub in Scotland,
where the waiters still wear kilts. It’s a 20 minute drive from the ferry terminal to the Drover’s Inn, and from
the Drover’s Inn it is another 30 minutes to the Bridge of Orchy Hotel. Elevation gain: 1,000’; Elevation
loss: 800’; Distance: 8 miles; Hiking time: 3 - 4 hours. Breakfast included, dinner is on your own. The
hotel has a pub and a restaurant.

Hiking Terrain: The first half of the hiking route to Inversnaid is a narrow trail right along Loch
Lomond. It is undulating as it hugs the shoreline, with some short steep sections with rocks and
roots, both up and down. The second half of the hike is on a wider trail, with more gentle footing,
through some flat areas, and some gradual ups and downs.

Alternate Transportation: To shorten the hike you can take the ferry, which departs from near
the hotel, across the loch to Luss. Once in Luss there is a bus service to the small village of
Tarbet. You may also ask the hotel to arrange for a taxi to meet you in Luss when the ferry
arrives. It is in Tarbert where the hiking group will meet the private van for transfer to Bridge of
Orchy.
Day 6: September 15: Bridge of Orchy to Kingshouse
Today you will hike across the Black Mount through the most exposed and isolated section of the “Way.”
The Black Mount is a high moorland plateau between the large mountains to the west and the Rannoch
Moor to the east. Though a challenging day it is plenty rewarding with its beautiful landscape of the
Highlands.
Leaving the hotel on foot, the route climbs up and over a small hill overlooking Loch Tulla and on to the
Black Mount. From here the route climbs gradually to the summit, or the highest point of the moor, at
1500’ and then begins a long gradual descent into Kings House and the Kings House hotel. Built in the
17th Century, the hotel is believed to be one of Scotland’s oldest licensed Inns. Elevation gain: 1,480’;
Elevation loss: 1,300’; Distance: 10 miles; Hiking time: 4 - 5 hours. Breakfast included, dinner on your
own, they have a pub style restaurant.

Hiking Terrain: This day begins with a short gentle climb, and then descent, on a dirt track, about
an hour in total, if it is wet the dirt could be slippery. The trail then continues to the wide open
moorland, it is a wide trail of dirt with rocks embedded in it, a natural cobblestone. The trail climbs
very gradually to its high point of the day, then descends to Kingshouse with a medium grade.

Alternate Transportation: It is possible to hire a taxi for a transfer to Kingshouse; 13 miles by
road.

Day 7: September16: Kingshouse to Kinlochleven
Though today’s hike is a bit shorter it is still demanding as you cross over the highest point of the “Way”
at 1850 feet. The climb begins with a gradual climb and then a descent as you approach the “Devil’s
Staircase.” Not as bad as the name may suggest, the route follows an old military road built in 1750 by
about 450 soldiers. The nickname comes from the switch back section near the summit.
As the long descent to Kinlochleven begins and the views of the Glen Coe Mountains are behind you, you
will enjoy the new scenery that lies ahead: the ridges of the Mamores with the massif of Ben Nevis rising
behind it. Elevation gain: 1,410’; Elevation loss: 2,200’; Distance: 9 miles; Hiking time: 4-5 hours. Dinner
and breakfast included at the hotel.
The village of Kinlochleven came about because of an aluminum smelting plant built there in the early
1900’s, and the houses in the village were built to house the employees of the plant. A hydro-electric
plant was built to power the smelter, along with the village, which became the first village in the world to
have every house connected to electricity, it was nicknamed “The Electric Village”. It is also home to the
world’s largest indoor ice-climbing wall, where if you like, you can give it a try.

Hiking Terrain: The trail begins as a wide dirt path, climbing gradually before descending to the
beginning of the Devil’s Staircase. The Devil’s Staircase is a series of switchbacks with
occasional steps built in. In less than an hour you will reach the top, and the highest point of the
Way. The descent to Kinlochleven begins as a wide dirt path, and gradually narrows until you
reach a dirt road. The dirt road is well graded but steep, this will take you all the way to the valley.
Just before reaching town the trail winds along the river and out onto the main street.

Alternate Transportation: There is a bus service through Glen Coe to Kinlochleven, and it is
also possible to hire a taxi; 18.5 miles by road.
Day 8: September 17: Kinlochleven to Lunarvra, overnight in Fort William – two nights in Fort
William
The day begins with a climb of 900' arriving at the Lairigmor, the “great pass,” situated between high hills
on the left and the even higher Mamores to our right. There are 11 Munros in this section of the West
Highland Way. Because this section of the “Way” is 14 miles from Kinlochleven to Fort William, you will be
met at Lunarvra, about half way, by a taxi and driven into Fort William. You will spend two nights in Fort
William. Elevation gain: 1,000’; Elevation loss: 500’; Distance 7.5 miles; Hiking time: 3 - 4 hours.
Breakfast and is dinner included. The hotel is located in the bustling center of Fort William, and not far
from Loch Linnhe. Overnight in Fort William for two nights.

Hiking Terrain: You will begin your day with a steady 900 foot climb, it is a wide hiking path with
occasional rocky sections which could be slippery if wet. Once you reach Lairigmor the trail
widens and is more like a dirt road with embedded rocks with gradual up and downs. The trail
continues like this all the way to Lunarvra.

Alternate Transportation: It is possible to take a bus to Fort William or hire a taxi. It is 21.8 miles
by road to Fort William.
Day 9: September 18: Transfer to Lunarvra and hike the remaining distance to Fort William,
overnight in Fort William.
Today you have a few options. You may transfer back to Lunarvra, where you were picked up yesterday,
and finish walking into Fort William. You may also choose to take a free day in Fort William, climb all or
part of Ben Nevis, or take the Harry Potter train to Mallaig and back. There are also boat cruises along
the Loch Linnhe. Breakfast and dinner is included. Dinner is at a local seafood restaurant situated on the
shore of Loch Linnhe, within walking distance of the hotel, which serves many local seafood specialties.
Hiking from Lunarvra: After a transfer to Lunarvra you hike through forests that are currently being
harvested, but you will eventually enter a lush and dense dark forest, where you’ll have occasional views
CHAMPS - Self-Guided Scotland: The West Highland Way 2015 - Page 4 of 5
Distant Journeys © All Rights Reserved
of Ben Nevis. Once you emerge from the forest, the view of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain, will be
right in front of you.
One of Scotland’s main attractions at 4,406', “The Ben”, with its rocky summit and 2,000' cliffs on the
North Face, often has snow on its peak even in summer. As you descend to Fort Williams, the route
travels through the Nevis Forest, eventually reaching the road into Fort William, and the official end of the
West Highland Way. With a great sense of accomplishment you arrive in Fort Williams and the end of this
great journey Elevation gain: 600; Elevation loss: 700’; Distance 7 miles; Hiking time: 3 - 4 hours.
Hiking Terrain: After a transfer from Fort William back to Lunarvra you will begin hiking where you were
picked up the day before. The trail is packed dirt, and climbs through a forested section before entering
the woods, on a medium width hiking trail with good footing. Overall you will descending, but there are
short sections of climbing. Eventually the trail joins a wide graded dirt road and descends, bringing you to
the Ben Nevis Information Center. From here it is about 1 mile on the paved road into Fort William, on a
sidewalk, this is the official route of the Way.

Optional Hike up Ben Nevis: Today, if the weather permits you may choose to climb Ben Nevis
instead of returning to Lunarvra. Ben Nevis is Britain’s highest mountain, Climbing “the Ben” is a
great way to end your walk along the West Highland Way. It is well worth the effort with its
fabulous 360 degree views, of course this is only possible if the fickle Scottish weather
cooperates. Elevation gain: 4,440’; Elevation loss: 4,440’; Distance 10 miles; Hiking time: 7 hours.

Hiking Terrain: The hiking on Ben Nevis is challenging because of the elevation gain and the
distance combined. The heavily used trail is very well maintained with stone steps and
switchbacks all the way to the top. It is a very steady elevation gain the entire way to the top. The
summit tends to be cloudy, and as you approach it with its open rocky terrain, the trail sometimes
becomes difficult to see. On a clear day it is a very popular hike. We always suggest you start this
hike early in the day.

Optional Day Trip: Jacobite Steam Engine to Mallaig: The Jacobite Steam Engine was used
in the filming of the Harry Potter movies, and is known as one of the great railway journeys of the
world. To take Advance reservations needed. The regular Scottish Rail also runs trains on the
same route to Mallaig and back, once or twice a day, and reservations are not usually necessary.
The journey is 84 miles roundtrip and travels through some of the prettiest scenery in the
highlands. The fishing village of Mallaig is where the ferry departs for the Isle of Skye, where you
can have lunch and return on the next train back to Fort William. This optional train trip is not
included in the price of the trip.
Day 10: September 19: Depart Fort William
After a final hearty Scottish breakfast private group transfer to Glasgow. Travel time is about 3 hours. For
early departures, prior to 7:30 am, back to Glasgow a full breakfast will not be served. Departure time to
be determined.
Elevation gain refers to the total number of feet ascended in any given day. Hiking times refer to the
actual number of hours hiked, not including rests stops. Both are only approximations and can vary
depending on weather conditions and hiking abilities. The terrain in this part of Scotland undulates quite a
bit making it difficult to calculate every rise and fall. While we have done our best to describe the terrain it
is impossible to be precise. You should expect roots and rocks as well as wide cobbled roads.

What to Expect
Accommodations and Facilities: Most evenings will be spent in small towns or villages. For the most
part these are not typical tourist destinations and therefore have limited choices of accommodations. The
accommodations on this route are comfortable though not fancy and will run the gamut from small, simple
bed and breakfasts to comfortable country inns and hotels. All reflect the local character and offer a
friendly welcome. Please note: Most nights include twin rooms with private baths, however there are two
or three nights with shared bathrooms. Rooms will range in size from singles to triples, or possibly
quads. All overnight accommodations are different.
A reminder: Bathroom facilities on the trail can be scarce at times, and don't always show up when you
need them. It's best to be prepared to search out a private spot off the trail if need be.
Meals: Breakfast: All accommodations offer a “Full Scottish Breakfast" typically consisting of cereal, eggs,
CHAMPS - Self-Guided Scotland: The West Highland Way 2015 - Page 6 of 5

toast, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, black pudding, coffee and tea, or choice thereof. A vegetarian option is
usually available.
Lunch: Most days, either morning or afternoon, there will be an opportunity to shop for food and other
supplies you may need. Village markets provide a wide selection of local fare for picnic lunches. Hotels
and B&B’s will often pack picnic lunches for an additional fee. Some days you may want to stop at a small
pub for lunch.
Dinner: Dinner served at the hotels includes a set menu and is generally three courses; a vegetarian
option is normally available. On the evenings when dinner is not included there are nearby pubs and
restaurants – within walking distance.
Hiking Grades: Scotland’s West Highland Way is graded moderate and some strenuous. For the most
part, however, elevation gains and losses are not as significant as on our other Inn-to-Inn hikes or alpine
hikes. The hiking trails are generally well graded and well defined which makes for great hiking. There
are sections in the northern half that include mud, loose rock, and steep uphill climbs and steep descents.
This is an exceptional route.
In order to enjoy the trip to its fullest, participants should be in condition appropriate for the trip and be
able to hike in varied terrain and weather. In the mountains, time and elevation gain or loss as opposed to
distance, tend to be the determining factors when defining hiking grades or level of difficulty. We are
happy to describe this in more detail or put you in touch with past participants who can describe their
experiences.
Any hiking trip requires a certain amount of effort and proper fitness training will enhance your enjoyment.
We have done our best to grade our trips consistently. Please call us for further clarification. We are
happy to offer names of past participants of the self -guided trips.
 Easy: Hike 3 to 4 hours daily carrying a daypack on generally gentle terrain. Distances from 4 to 8
miles. Elevation gain and loss 500' to 1,500'.
 Moderate: Hike an average of 4 to 5 hours daily on varied terrain. Distances from 5 to 9 miles.
Elevation gains and losses generally 1,500' to 2,500' or about 2 hours.
 Strenuous: Hike 5 to 7 hours daily on varied terrain, with consistent ascents and descents of 2 to 3
or more hours generally 2,500' - 3,500'. Distances from 6 to 11 miles. There are some sections that
include steep uphill and down hills.
 Strenuous Plus: 5 to 8 hours partly on rocky, challenging terrain with consistent steep ascents and
descents of 2 to 3 or more hours generally 3,000'-5,000'. Distances from 6 to 15 miles. Though each
day is not strenuous plus some sections that may include rough terrain and open and exposed trails.
Trails and Weather Conditions: The days can be warm and sunny and the nights cool and clear. It can
also be quite rainy, it is after all Scotland! For all our trips you can expect to be outdoors for most of the
day and not always within quick reach of shelter. This being the case, you are more at the whim of Mother
Nature than your average traveler. Naturally, we hope the weather will cooperate, but as often is the case
in it can change quickly and without much notice. You should check forecasts daily, and be prepared for
some hiking in wet or adverse conditions, or for a change in itinerary
Luggage: Your extra luggage will be transported each day to your next night’s accommodations. It is not
possible for passengers to travel with the luggage. We recommend you pack as light as possible simply
so you do not have to move large bags each day.
Taxi Service: While this trip includes luggage transfer, it is not vehicle supported. Participants should be
in physical condition appropriate to the strenuousness of this hike. It is, however, possible to skip a day of
hiking and take a taxi to the next hotel. This extra cost is not included in the price of the trip. Any taxi
CHAMPS - Self-Guided Scotland: The West Highland Way 2015 - Page 7 of 5

arrangements can be made with the help of the B & B or hotel, however, some locations are fairly remote
and a taxi transfer can be expensive.
Travel
Travel to Drymen: The closest international airport is Glasgow, Scotland. Included in the trip is a group
transfer from the Glasgow Airport to Drymen, 25 miles away.
Departing Fort William – A group transfer from Fort William to Glasgow is included in the land cost,
however, it is a 3 hour trip; for morning flight departures you may need to depart Fort William in the wee
hours of the morning, or plan on an afternoon flight or spend the night in Glasgow. For early departures
from the hotel breakfast will not be a full breakfast.
Passport Information: You will need a valid passport for entry into Great Britain. See your travel agent or
post office for an application. This process can take some time. It is best to give it your immediate
attention.
