The Great Glen Hostel is an excellent venue for school and youth groups, club meets, family get-togethers and touring groups. The hostel is in a peaceful rural location and is well placed for touring and exploring the Highlands - 20 miles north of Fort William on the A82, just south of Invergarry.

The hostel is encircled by mountains, rivers and lochs where wildlife abounds; red deer, pine martens, red squirrels, golden eagles and ospreys are all regular visitors in the surrounding area. There is a wide variety of walks on offer locally ranging from canal side strolls to mountain climbs. Outdoor activities including white water rafting, water-skiing, kayaking and abseiling are available nearby. The mountain gondola at Aonach Mor is less than 30 minutes away for snow-sports in winter and spectacular views of Lochaber year-round.
