Overview

Cycling the Great Glen Way takes five days, a moderate trail that takes you along Caledonian Canal, and with some more rural ascents and descents through the Great Glen Valley. The final section to Inverness involves some road cycling but, for the most part, you are on a towpath, forest trails and some gravel forest paths. Stay in small, locally-owned hotels or guesthouses along the way, with your luggage transported daily for you. Electric bike rental is also an option.
