The East
Highland Way - Fort William to Aviemore
82 Miles - 132 KM The East Highland Way is a new long distance walk that connects
Fort William, outdoor
capital of the UK, with the ski and mountain resort of Aviemore.
In doing
so, it also connects Scotland's existing long distance walks: the West
Highland
Way & Great
Glen Way, to the
Speyside Way in the north east. The contrast in
natural habitats along the route imbues the East Highland Way with a
distinctive
character. The journey passes seamlessly through enchanting broadleaf
forests,
loch-side trails and quiet mountain wilderness. It skirts unspoilt marshlands
and
also explores the last remnants of the ancient Caledonian forests of
Inshriach.
The route has been optimised to engage with accommodation wherever possible,
making it more accessible for walkers of all abilities.
