What Makes This Tour Unique

Summit Scotland’s Highest Peak – Few tours give you the chance to conquer Ben Nevis, standing at 1,345 metres, with panoramic Highland views as your reward. It’s a full-day challenge that leaves a real sense of achievement.

Hidden Gems of Glencoe – Exploring the Lost Valley takes you off the beaten path. This secluded valley combines rugged landscapes with a fascinating history tied to the Massacre of Glencoe, giving the hike a story that few tours offer.

Immersive Highland Adventure – From the dramatic peaks around Fort William to the secret valleys of Glencoe, this tour blends epic scenery, physical challenge, and Scottish heritage in just two days.

Flexible and Personal Experience – With moderate group sizes, plenty of time to enjoy the hikes at your own pace, and evenings in the lively town of Fort William, the tour balances adventure with comfort and celebration.

  • 1
    Ben Nevis

    Day 1 We depart at 7:00am from Glasgow, heading north through dramatic Highland scenery on a direct journey to Glen Nevis (approx. 2½ hours). From here, the challenge begins as we start our ascent of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Scotland and Britain, rising 1,345 metres above sea level. Once part of an ancient volcano, Ben Nevis is a legendary peak that draws hikers from across the world. The climb takes 7 to 9 hours, rewarding us with breathtaking views over the Highlands on a clear day and an unforgettable sense of achievement. After descending, we travel a short distance to Fort William, where you will check in to your accommodation. The evening is free to relax, enjoy local food and drink, and celebrate conquering Scotland’s highest summit.

    Glencoe & The Lost Valley

    1 stop
  • 2
    Glencoe

    Day 2 We depart Fort William at 9:00am, travelling south through spectacular mountain scenery on a short drive of around 30 minutes to Glencoe. Towering peaks and dramatic ridgelines surround us as we begin our hike into the hidden Lost Valley, a secret glen once used by Clan MacDonald to conceal stolen cattle from rival clans. This atmospheric valley is also closely linked to one of the darkest chapters in Scottish history — the Massacre of Glencoe (1692), when members of Clan MacDonald were betrayed and killed by government soldiers who had been staying with them as guests. Today, the glen stands as a powerful reminder of both Scotland’s rugged beauty and turbulent past. The hike takes approximately 2 to 3 hours, offering incredible views and a sense of stepping back in time. After returning to the car park, we begin our journey south, arriving back in Glasgow.
