Nevis Range and Ben Nevis 
Being located close to the 'Ben', Glenlochy Guest House provides an ideal location to climb Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK.  Follow the mountain path from the nearby Visitor Centre or arrange to go one of the more exciting routes with an experienced guide - available locally.  
Not to be missed is a gondola trip up the Ben's sister mountain Aonach Mor where you can sit in the restaurant or take a short walk along the path to the view point which provides a stunning vista of the mountains, lochs and spectacular scenery of Lochaber.  The most recent attractions at Aonach Mor are the new mountain bicycle tracks.  Constructed on the mountain slopes these provide exciting routes to traverse for leisure or competitive events.  The site recently featured a leg of the Mountain Bicycle World Championships and was well attended and received. 

Scenery 
Glen Nevis and its waterfalls provide spectacular scenery on your doorstep; follow the road along the Glen to the waterfalls or take one of the forest paths that navigate through the forests and over the moors around Fort William.
Follow the road to Mallaig and sample the delights of Glenfinnan where Bonnie Prince Charlie left Flora MacDonald waiting for his return.  
See the viaduct and train line with Hogwart's Express featured in Harry Potters latest film. Travel on to the secluded sands of Morar, Stop at Camusdarach car park and follow the path through the dunes to see the miles of unspoilt white sands
