Glencoe is a truly majestic place. Mountains tower either side of you as you drive through the Glen.

The Lost Valley is a perfect hike for most ability levels. You can enjoy the atmosphere, forests and wilderness of Glen Coe in a short hike.

Your guide will keep you updated with the mountain forecast and can help with any clothing & equipment questions if needed.

Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

We'll meet at the stone monument at the front of the car park. Having your own vehicle is easiest as there's no public transport. There are a few taxi companies in Glencoe. If you're solo and in the Fort William / Glencoe area, I can give you a lift.

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What to expect

After introductions, we'll walk to the start of the valley by crossing the Rver Coe gorge.

There's a steep metal staircase down, a bridge over the river then a steep rocky ascent up the other side. A rope handrail is provided.

We then walk through up the forested valley following the burn / river - Allt Coire Gabhail.

The path is good for the majority of the route but it is rocky, muddy & steep in places. There's one large rock slab to ascend & descend and a river to cross via stepping stones.

The final approach to the Lost Valley is narrow and strewn with huge boulders. We emerge to the open expanse of the Hidden Valley surrounded by towering mountains.

A perfect lunch spot!

We'll then walk back down the same way to the car park, but the views change in the opposite direction.

I'll contact you before the hike to confirm clothing & equipment and answer any questions. I'll also send an online Medical & consent form.
