| Start/Finish: Braveheart car park, GR NN121736
Total distance: 19.9km (12.4 miles)
Time: 2-4 hours
Height gain: 724m (2367 feet)
Maps required: OS Landranger OL41, Ben Nevis, Fort William and Glen Coe
Route summary: A strenuous climb out of Glen Nevis, with challenging singletrack and fast forest blasts.
Starting in the Braveheart car park on the Glen Nevis road, turn right up the fire road and through the gate. Follow the track as it climbs steadily.
At the track fork, go right following the West Highland Way (WHW) thistle marker posts. This track begins to climb more steeply before switchbacking further up as it reaches the head of the glen. Follow the main track up and over the rise.
Just after you begin descending, keep an eye out on your left for the singletrack heading off into the woods, marked with a WHW thistle post. Follow this singletrack through the trees — there are no other trails to go wrong on.
Pass through the gate and leave the forest, sticking to the WHW as it goes up the side of a small hill then down to another gate. Pass through this and begin the descent down to the road.
At the WHW information board turn right onto the singletrack road (marked as alternative WHW route into Fort Bill). Follow this to the outskirts of the town.
Just as you’re reaching the first houses take the track on your right, climbing steadily back up onto Cow Hill.
Begin the epic climb back up to the border, turning left to join The Street at OS NT792191. Navigation is fairly straightforward here: follow the obvious doubletrack as it makes its way south over one false summit after another.
At the high point of the stony track there is a cow’s head sign marked to Glen Nevis. Take this right and descend initially on wide trail.
A sign on your left reads ‘multi-user trail’ but isn’t marked on any maps. Take this trail and descend on excellent flowing path all the way to Fort William.
Take the right turn and the trail turns back on itself to return you to the Braveheart car park. |
