THE OUTDOOR CAPITAL OF THE UK AWAITS YOU
Lochaber is full of stunning landscapes and a huge range of activities for you to explore. So whether you’re coming to visit with young children, or the young at heart, you’ll find plenty to keep the whole family entertained this autumn. Explore our beautiful open waters or take to the trails to explore the countryside on foot or by bike. Whatever your adventure, you’ve come to the right place! There’s a reason that Lochaber is known as ‘The Outdoor Capital of the UK’! There’s no better place to experience the outdoors. This vast, diverse loca- tion nestled in the heart of the west Highlands offers you a huge range of activities and the opportunity for adventure. Stretching from the Great Glen to the most westerly point on the British mainland on the Ardnamurchan Penin- sula, there’s something for everyone. The Outdoor Capital of the UK presents a huge range of activities for you to en- joy during your stay: Tour and bike the Great Glen with Caledonian Discovery. Hire an ebike from Off Beat Bikes in Fort William and take to the hills with ease! Spend an afternoon relaxing and tak- ing in the views with Loch Shiel Cruises, based in beautiful Glenfinnan. You might even be lucky enough to spot a sea eagle swooping down to catch its supper. If you’re seeking a water-based adven- ture then Rugged Paddleboarding can offer you iconic views of Glencoe as you explore sheltered Loch Leven, or try a taster session on the Caledonian Canal with L&D Adventures. Explore more open water with Rock- hopper Sea Kayaking and encounter sea life and stunning beaches from your canoe or kayak, taking in the views across the water from Arisaig to the Small Isles of Rum, Muck and Eigg
on a guided tour. If you’re after some serious outdoor time, why not opt for the overnight camp excursion. If you’re after an adrenaline fix, then Active Highs and Vertical Descents provide plenty of action and adven- ture on canyoning days, sea kayaking and white water rafting experiences. Can you complete the high-altitude climbing challenge of Kinlochleven’s Via Ferrata? If you’ve never tried climbing, this is a great way to get a taste for the experience in an easy and safe way for all ages. Even the wet days here have an upside as ‘today’s rain is tomorrow’s whisky’. Make your way to Fort William and enjoy a warm welcome at Ben Nevis Distillery or head to the Ardnamurchan Peninsula to tour Nc’nean Distillery, a young distillery creating delicious or- ganic whisky and gin. Or try your hand at making your own gin at Pixel Spirits gin school near Ballachulish. There are plenty of indoor options, too, enjoy a family challenge with ten-pin bowling at the Nevis Centre, scale the heights at 3 Wise Monkeys climbing wall, and relax in the comfort of The Highland Cinema, our very own inde- pendent cinema.
