Cross the A82 but not the Lochy Bridge ahead; instead turn sharp left onto a well-made path between the golf course (left) and the River Lochy (right). At a car park, bear right along the riverbank to Old Inverlochy Castle. Turn left, pass through the castle and back to the riverbank.

Ahead, a lane takes you under the railway. Just past the end of the long Soldiers’ Bridge (footbridge) take a stile on the right, to reach a narrow bridge over a tailrace stream. Cross grass to join the smooth gravel path of the Great Glen Way. It runs near the wide, tidal river, then through woodland; then is again beside the Lochy for 400 metres. Finally it bends left around a wood to a tarred street.

Turn left for a few steps, ignoring a rough riverside track to find a gravel path alongside houses. After 300 metres it drops to join Dubh MacDonald Road. At this street’s end, turn right in Earl of Inverness Road to the A82.

The street opposite is signed for Ben Nevis Inn. Follow it for 100 metres, then cross a stone bridge on the right. Turn left, up Glen Nevis, and follow the pavement for 500 metres until a track forks off left to another footbridge, a green-painted metal one. Recross the River Nevis and turn right, upstream. In 300 metres the street bears left; here keep ahead on a riverside path. After 1km it brings you to the footbridge at the Visitor Centre.
