Fort William is a major tourist centre which lies near the head of Loch Linnhe, with the infamous Glencoe to the south, Aonach Mor to the North and Glenfinnan to the West on the Road to the Isles.
It is a centre for hillwalking and climbing due to its proximity to Ben Nevis and many other Munro's. It lies at the end of the West Highland Way (Milngavie â Fort William) and the start of The Great Glen Way (Fort William â Inverness) and is a popular attraction for hill walkers and visitors to the Caledonian Canal.
It is also known for its nearby downhill mountain bike track which attracts thousands of visitors each year including international competitors and fans and is also home to the Scottish Six Day motorcycle trial held annually in May which attracts visitors from across the globe.
Within easy access of Nevis Range Mountain Resort, let Britain's only mountain gondola transport you to 650m on the slopes of Aonach Mor with breathtaking views in the summer and winter then relax in the restaurant and bar.
