Keep going on a good path still to right of the stream. Pass another bridge into the car park at Nevis Visitor Centre. After another 400 metres the path is about to join the Achintee Road.

To avoid this, fork left on a path under trees, still alongside the river, to join the road further down. After 200 metres cross a green footbridge over the River Nevis, then turn right to join the pavement of the Glen Nevis road. At the roundabout by the Nevis Bank Hotel, turn left to the town centre.

The long valley starts at Corrour, a place reached by railway but by no road, with a restaurant and a youth hostel, and runs for 30km between two of Scotland’s highest mountain ranges. Along the way it passes a couple of handy bothies. At last it emerges round the back of Ben Nevis by a huge waterfall and a gorge: this is where, if anywhere, Scotland becomes Himalayan.
