Walk The Great Glen Way, self guided

Planet

As a responsible tour operator, we pride ourselves on only working with local, independent partners who share in our passion to positively impact our local communities and environment.

This long-distance walking trail crosses through varied terrain and some areas that have populations of wild roe and red deer. We encourage you to ‘leave no trace’ as you complete the trail and provide tips on how to get the most out of your experience whilst respecting the natural environment to its fullest.

Through offering this trip as a self-guided experience, rather than a group trip means that the number of walkers we send on the trail at one time is reduced causing less impact to the environment. As the trail is one of the more popular in Scotland it is important to us to encourage travel outside of the busiest season.

We also supply you with a reusable water bottle to take with you to help curb single-use plastic pollution.

People

At the heart of everything we do is a passion to support our local community. One of the best ways we can do this is to solely work with local independent partners, all of whom are equally passionate about supporting the community in which they're based. Finding employment in rural areas has always been a challenge and often leads to young people feeling they have no choice but to move away when they reach employment age.

Our hiking guides all live locally, so not only are we supporting local employment, they know the area like the back of their hand. And when you’re welcoming guests into your home, it’s natural to have a passion for ensuring they have the best possible experience.

We also encourage you to visit the local pubs and use the village shop for any supplies you may need. These rural businesses rely on regular trade to keep them open, so please do support them by buying local whenever you can.
