About trip

Combining breathtaking scenery with easy access, this picturesque glen in the heart of the Highlands is hard to beat. The steep-sided gorge is enveloped by the tallest mountains in Britain and opens up to reveal a hanging valley with alpine meadows. Here, the dramatic 120m-high Steall Falls pour into the scene, joining a beautiful river with plunge pools, and a famous wire bridge. 
 From Fort William take the road that winds up the glen (PH33 6SY) to the Upper Falls car park at the end. An obvious path leads up into the higher reaches of Glen Nevis, following the river. Walking time from vehicle: 20 mins.
