Stage 4 of the Great Glen Way covers 12.1 km from Fort Augustus to Invermoriston, with 247 m of ascent and 227 m of descent. The highest point is 106 m. Allow about 3.5 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.
Wooded tent campsite with geodomes, a bell tent and a timber tent, with direct access to the low route about 8 km from Fort Augustus and 4.5 km before Invermoriston. Open April to September 2026; no campervans or roof tents; book pitches online.
Bed and breakfast with four large en-suite rooms and a self-catering studio for two (open all year) in Invermoriston, between the trail and Loch Ness. Boot room and bike garage; book online.
Small B&B in Invermoriston village, a short walk from the trail. It has no website of its own; confirm by phone.
Adults-only holiday park on Dalcataig Road in Invermoriston, a few hundred metres from the trail, with one- and two-bedroom cabins and a cottage. Touring pitches are for self-contained vans only (no toilets or showers), so not for tents.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear on a public listing (OpenStreetMap, Scottish Canals or walkers' trip reports) but could not be confirmed on their own website. Gairlochy and South Laggan have only a few beds, and many campsites and some B&Bs close from October to March: book ahead, especially from May to September.
Emergency: call 999 or 112 and ask for Police, then Mountain Rescue (Coastguard on Loch Ness). Urgent medical advice: NHS 24 on 111. Emergency & health guide
