From GBP 125Group Walk up Ben Nevis from Fort William
Group walks up Ben Nevis every Wednesday and Sunday from the start of May to the end of September. Your chance to join a group and together with your guide, climb to the summit at 1344 metres (4411 feet).

The pub at the end of the path is a great place to finish the day with a well earned pint! Please note that for walks in early May winter boots, crampons and walking axes may be required if there is still snow on the mountain. This kit can be hired at an additional cost from Scottish Mountain Hire in Fort William and we will advise guests as early as possible if it will be required. For all of the walks under 18 year olds MUST be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
From GBP 75Fort William: Steall Falls & Nevis Gorge Hike
A stunning 9km / 5.5 mile forest walk following the winding Water of Nevis to the dramatic Steall Falls. The route meanders through the rocky Nevis Gorge and opens to the panoramic landscape of Glen Nevis. Steall Falls is third highest waterfall in Scotland and cascades 105 meters down the rock face. In Gaelic it's called An Steall Bàn meaning "The White Spout". This iconic area is featured in two Harry Potter films. At the end of the walk, there's a wire rope bridge over the river for the adventurous! This is a private hike with Trev, your friendly local guide. The path is a little rocky and muddy in places, so he's on hand to help if needed. He's always happy to take photos! Please note that if it's not rained for a while, the waterfall won't be flowing fast.
From GBP 8Private Walking Tour in Fort William Town Centre
You can have a fun filled private tour with a local lad and some of his family (most frequently his Mum). Nathaniel says "I have researched lots of information on the local area and am always learning and adding more every day". The tour is operated by a 15 year old with assistance from mum. We offer a unique youthful perspective on the history of the town of Fort William. I will lead you through the entire High Street giving you a tale or two of what happened here in the past and how life looks here now. We stop at some of the iconic buildings and monuments and I have a story or two that is not so well known! Fort William has been a trend setter in its day and houses quite a few artefacts that can only be seen in 2 or 3 places in the whole of Britain! We can’t wait to share it all with you.
