Glen Nevis Holidays

Glen Nevis Holidays: accommodation and camping in the heart of the Highlands

Glen Nevis Holidays is a Scottish company based in Glen Nevis, Fort William, which operates a caravan and camping park and a self-catering accommodation park in a mountain setting. Its offering is completed by a nearby restaurant and bar, as well as guided activities in the area.

Accommodation: camping, caravans and self-catering cottages

The company manages two distinct accommodation areas. On the one hand, a caravan and camping park that the company itself presents as award-winning and which has full facilities in a Highland setting. On the other, a self-catering park located further up the glen, with mountain views. The offering is complemented by a nearby restaurant and bar, designed for relaxing after a day in the glen.

Natural heritage and own estate

Glen Nevis Holidays has its own Highland estate with grounds extending to over 1000 acres. The estate includes fishing rights on the River Nevis and a native woodland regeneration project with over 40,000 trees. The company also maintains its own herd of pedigree Highland cattle.

The Glen Nevis area is home to a great diversity of wildlife and natural habitats, including red squirrels, otters, golden eagles, salmon and pine martens, which live in the forests, rivers and mountains of the area.

Guided activities and fishing

The company organises guided experiences in Glen Nevis led by its rangers. These activities provide an insight into the landscape, the history of the glen and the herd of Highland cattle. The offering ranges from 45-minute strolls to see the cattle to 2-hour walks off the beaten track to discover the landscape. During the route, locations used in Hollywood productions such as Braveheart, Highlander and Harry Potter are visited. For bespoke experiences, the company handles enquiries through its bookings team.

The estate also has fishing rights on the River Nevis, where you can fish for salmon or trout. The company sells catch and release fishing permits for 1 day or 3 days for the price of 2. The fishing season runs from 15th April to 30th September each year. Permits can be purchased at the self-catering or campsite receptions.

Historic and film setting

Glen Nevis is a glen with a long history and numerous archaeological sites. The area is dominated by the remains of a vitrified Iron Age fort. In addition, the landscape has served as a backdrop for film productions: the company notes that scenes from Braveheart and Highlander were filmed on its grounds, and that quidditch was played in Glen Nevis in the context of the Harry Potter saga.

Walking and natural surroundings

The glen offers numerous walking and cycling routes accessible from the accommodation. The path to Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the United Kingdom, is a short walk away. Nearby points of interest include Steall Falls, at the head of the glen, and the peak Sgùrr a' Mhàim, 1099 metres high.
