Day 1 Depart Dublin for Fort William
Sean Connery, Braveheart, Nessie, all famous names reminding us of Scotland, but it is also well known for its rugged beauty, peaceful lakes and tranquil glens. Combined they capture the perfect setting for an excellent walking break.
We will depart Dublin early in the morning and drive to Belfast, where we will board the ferry for Stranraer. On arrival we drive north through some spectacular countryside to our base in Fort William, making several stops along the way.
Day 2 Ben Nevis
Our first walk starts just a short bus ride from Fort William at the base of Ben Nevis, our challenge for the day. It's the highest mountain the British Isles, standing at 1344m. We will cross the river Nevis to join the Mountain Track, which takes us to the summit and back. Along the way you will have some stunning views into the valley of Glen Nevis and the surrounding mountains. Furthermore, if luck is on our side, and if we have a clear day, the views from the summit are simply breathtaking.

Day 3 West Highland Way
Our next walk takes us on one of the section of Scotland's oldest way-marked trails: the West Highland Way. This is one of the finest low-level walks that you are liable to find, offering an ever changing landscape that will make for an unforgettable day.
Starting in the village of Kinlocklevin, we will first visit the famous Grey Mare's Tail Waterfall and The Ice Factor, which is the largest indoor ice climbing facility in the world.

From Kinlocklevin we walk south passing Kings House Hotel, reputed to be one of the oldest inns in Scotland, dating back to the 17th century. From here we cross The Rannoch Moor, which is tremendously impressive and so remote that one can get the feel like you are on another planet.
