Ben Nevis is Scotland's greatest hill at 1343 metres it is surrounded by a number of other peaks over 1000 metres.

Glen Coe, south of Fort William, may be the site of the 1692 massacre for the MacDonalds at the hands of the Campbell clan. There are several both intense and less difficult walks in this region, including, the Devil's Staircase from Kinlochleven therefore the Buachaille Etive Beag circuit over the valleys. The 14 mile stroll from Kinlochleven to Fort William comprises the ultimate area of the West Highland Method. There are many destinations in Kinlochleven: the Aluminium tale, The Ice element (an indoor climbing center) and Atlas Brewery.
