Great Glen Way High Route

Highland

18 km / 11 miles
An alternative to a section of the Great Glen Way between Fort Augustus and a point Above Primrose Bay, Alltsigh. This variant is more scenic and avoids closures on the lower route when forestry harvesting operations are underway. In detail there are South and North sections of the Great Glen High Route before and after Invermoriston. The two routes are linked by a small section of the Great Glen Way which passes through Invermoriston.
