Great Glen Way by Bike

Overview

The Great Glen Cycle Way is a Scottish Coast to Coast route largely following the walking route of the Great Glen Way National Trail but has a different route around Loch Oich to the walkers. The ride is approximately 80 miles / 129km starting at Fort William, near the foot of Ben Nevis (Britain’s highest peak), follows the shores of the famous Loch Ness and finishes at Inverness, Scotland’s north‑most city and the “capital of the Highlands”. A lot of the cycling is straightforward, along canal towpaths and forest tracks, but there are some more challenging sections on gravel fire roads and on single‑track. Some hills are pretty steep and it maybe just as well to get off, walk and admire the view on these sections. The tour can be customized for you, and prices depend on group size, room types, itinerary customizations, and date of travel. There is a variety of accommodation along the route ranging from bed and breakfasts, lodges, pubs and small hotels. They are offered by cycling-friendly hosts with en-suite or private facility rooms and a tasty breakfast. Some accommodations offer washing and drying facilities, and packed lunches. Self-guided travelling is not difficult! For many, it is a preferred type of travel, since you are in charge of your own time and pace. You are provided with all the information you’ll need to follow the route each day and often have access to phone support or other kinds of assistance. However, self-guided travelling requires good navigation skills and those who don’t feel confident in unknown places should consider booking guided tours. This tour includes luggage transfers for your luggage; however, you are in charge of any personal transfers needed. Combine the freedom of travelling on your own with the confidence that all of the logistics are taken care of. Accommodations, luggage transfers, gear rentals, and more - all taken care of so you can focus on making memories. Have peace of mind for when travel plans change with our hassle-free booking process and unbeatable support.
