Loch Ness Activities

Loch Ness is a great place for activity holidays, with plenty of sporting activities to take part in - all set against a breathtaking backdrop of highland scenery. On the water you could spend a relaxing day fishing for salmon, trout, sea-trout, char or pike - or try your hand at sailing or canoeing on the Loch.

The Loch Ness area is a fantastic place for walking, and caters for all abilities from challenging hill walks and long distance hikes along the Great Glen way to well signposted and accessible walks suitable for the whole family.

Don't forget your Mountain Bikes (or hire them here)! They are a wonderful way to explore the Great Glen Way, villages, forests and the Caledonian canal.    

See our dynamic map of Loch Ness showing lots of ideas for activities and walking Loch Ness  

If you're feeling more energetic, there are plenty of adventure sports on offer in the area - mountain biking, wind surfing, paragliding and skiing on the Nevis Range. Remember, Scotland is the home of golf, so don't forget to pack your clubs.
