Ben Nevis and Glencoe: the high Scottish Highlands

Britain's highest mountain and Scotland's most cinematic glen — three days of serious walking.

Ben Nevis at 1,345 metres is the highest mountain in the British Isles. The Tourist Path from Glen Nevis takes most fit walkers 7-9 hours up and down. Add Glencoe — 16 miles south, the location for half the films set in Scotland — and you have one of the heaviest concentrations of mountain scenery in Europe.
