Clan Macdonald reportedly hid cattle in this flat hanging valley. The path climbs from a car park on the A82, crosses a footbridge, then scrambles beside a ravine before opening onto a flat green floor. It is about 3 km each way.

Good to know

  • Path is rough with some scrambling and stepping stones
  • Do not attempt in snow or heavy rain
  • Car park is a lay-by, arrive early
Best time
Morning, before the car park fills
