The valley runs from the Kingshouse Hotel to Glencoe village both of which are connected by the A82. One of the finest drives in the entire UK, it is only 12 miles long...

The village of Glencoe, on the shores of Lock Leven, has a small folk museum (11am-3pm, £3), outdoor centre and caravan park. But most come here to walk around the peaceful Glencoe Lochan. This lovely lake, surrounded by trees and towered over by the 742-metre-high Pap of Glencoe, provides the setting for the best easy walk in the area. On a warm d...
The Glencoe Visitors Centreis just east of Glencoe village and it’s a good spot to get your bearings. Housed in a modern stylish structure, the entrance hall is a 3D model of the valley detailing the best stops and hikes and a short film takes you on a journey through Glencoe’s history. There are lovely views out the back and a recently constructed...
Heading east of the visitors’ centre, just as the Glencoe valley begins to open out, An Torr Wood is a stark contrast to the imposing barren hills that surround it. Pine-covered paths meander between moss-covered rocks and under giant trees. The river provides a calming soundtrack as you twist and turn through the forest. The wood is undergoing a t...
Sitting on the edge of An Torr wood is the historic Clachaig Inn. It’s a great location in whatever weather you’re presented with. On cold wet days it’s a warm welcoming harbour from the wind and rain. On sunny days you can sit in the garden staring up at mighty peaks. There’s food served all day. Their cosy bar, Boots Bar, is a hiker’s hangout and...
The finest viewpoint in the narrowest part of Glencoe valley is the Three Sisters Viewpoint. Right next to the road, it is surrounded by some of the most imposing mountains in the area. The jagged edge of the Aonach Eagach Ridge – a series of peaks and pinnacles connected by narrow arêtes – is to the north. Even from the viewpoint, it’s easy to see...
While the complete hike over The Three Sisters is a strenuous all-day affair, the Hidden Valley hike is a fantastic shorter section that’s well worth completing. The hike leaves the Three Sisters viewpoint car park, heads downhill to a track at the bottom of the valley, turns left and then right crossing a wooden bridge over the river Coe. The trai...
Standing guard over the eastern end of Glencoe Valley is the mountain Buachaille Etive Mòr. Its rocky summit and steep-sided slopes make it one of the most photographed peaks in the Scottish Highlands. From the north (at Altnafeadh) a whitewashed farm sits under its giant rocky flanks; a small speck of life in a wild and rugged place. From the east...
The Kingshouse Hotelmust have one of the finest locations in the UK, yet for decades the slightly dishevelled venue did not live up to its potential. That has all changed. A £12m revamp completed in 2019 has produced a wonderful modern structure at home in its surroundings. The wooden and metal façade blends beautifully with the rugged moors and mo...
