Bus from Fort William Highland to Inverness

Snowgoose Mountain Centre is ideally located in the heart of the west highlands of Scotland, some 100 miles north of Glasgow and 77 miles south of Inverness. We are conveniently situated in the village of Corpach on the A830 ” The Road to the Isles”. The village is some 4 miles to the north west from the town of Fort William which is one of the main touring and shopping hubs in the Scottish Highlands.

Location : |

At the south west end of the Great Glen and Caledonian Canal & right at the start of the Road to the Isles, there is direct road access to Glenfinnan & the “Rough Bounds “, on to the white beaches of Arisaig, then on to the fishing town & ferry terminus at Mallaig (about 40 miles). From our doorstep we have some of the best, stunning views across the loch of Ben Nevis, the Mamor Ridges & the nearby Aonach Mor ski area.

Our unique location means that there is easy access to both the main touring routes and public transport. We are at the head of the tidal waters of Loch Linnhe, 20 miles in either direction from the open sea within a very short distance of widely ranging grades of white water, rock and mountains, means that we can offer an extensive range of water and mountain based activities for all grades, from one hour to one week. We are 5 miles from the superb Aonach Mhor ski area with its all year round gondola facility and 15 miles from Glencoe.
