Walks and Cycling
There are many walks to choose from in the Great Glen and on these pages we thought we'd give a few examples of what's on offer. These are some of our favourite walks, starting with some gentle short walks close to the hostel.
We've included some sketch maps but if you plan to do much walking in the area then a useful purchase is the OS Landranger 1:50,000 map "Fort Augustus and Glen Albyn area" (Sheet 34).

With no less than 59 Munros within a 20 mile radius of the Hostel, Loch Lochy is a great place to base yourself for getting in to the hills. There's so much to choose from - the hills around Loch Quoich, Loch Arkaig, Glen Spean, Cluanie - and of course by Loch Lochy itself - so we've just included brief descriptions of routes on the hills closest to us.

The hostel is only yards away from the Great Glen Way, Scotland's new long distance footpath, which runs from Fort William to Inverness. For more details, the official website is http://www.greatglenway.com

There's plenty on offer for mountainbikers around Loch Lochy. We are right next to the Great Glen Cycle Route, which runs from Fort William to Inverness; and there are many other tracks to choose from, as well as scenic rides on quiet roads.
