Watch: Scotland by Walk, Bike & Barge Film

Decisions, decisions. Scotland's Great Glen Way is a marvellous trail to explore, but to experience it by walking or cycling? With the Multi Activity tour, you can do both! Plus your accommodation is a very comfortable and cosy barge that will keep you constantly immersed in your surroundings.
 
Tim Charody, the award-winning filmmaker, has captured what it's like to experience the Great Glen Way Multi Activity Barge with UTracks. Watch this short movie to discover what it's like to spend a week cycling, walking, sailing and enjoying the beauty of Scotland.
 
 

About the Great Glen Way Multi Activity Barge

Scotland's Great Glen Way walking trail stretches 75 miles from Fort William to the capital of the highlands, Inverness. 
 
Based on board a comfortable barge at night, this multi activity holiday incorporates hiking, cycling and canoeing in one of Scotland's most picturesque regions. The cruise offers the flexibility to walk, cycle or canoe sections of the route at an easy pace from one coast of Scotland to the other.

The choice of how much activity to incorporate into the week long trip is up to you. The barge stops are planned to suit the active stages, breaking them into manageable walks, cycles and paddles. Guided by an experienced escort, who will point out places of interest along the way, there is no shortage of highlights.

From impressive views of the mystical Loch Ness to glimpses of Scotland's highest peak, Ben Nevis, this relaxed pace active holiday will immerse you in the Scottish Highlands. In the evening, share stories of your day with like minded travellers and relish in the accomplishment of walking the breadth of Scotland.
 
 
 

"Absolutely amazing trip through the Caledonian Canal on the barge Ros Crana! The crew was amazing and planned so many different experiences for us throughout the trip. Rain or shine we enjoyed the peacefulness of the Scottish Highlands and the stunning scenery. Would highly recommend!" J. Williamson.
