The EasyWays team took care of all the logistics, including booking comfortable accommodations and arranging baggage transfers between each stop. Every hotel and guesthouse I stayed at was welcoming, clean, and perfectly located along the route. It was such a relief to know my bags would be waiting for me at the end of each day—one less thing to worry about after a full day of hiking!
What really stood out was the attention to detail and personalised service. The comprehensive information pack provided before my journey was full of useful tips, detailed maps, and a clear itinerary that made navigation a breeze. Whenever I had a question, the team was quick to respond with friendly and helpful advice.
Walking the West Highland Way is a bucket-list adventure, and EasyWays made it all the more special by handling the planning so I could focus on the incredible scenery, from the dramatic peaks of Glencoe to the serene shores of Loch Lomond. This was my first walking holiday, and I’m already looking forward to booking my next trip with them.
If you’re looking for a hassle-free walking experience where everything is taken care of, I wholeheartedly recommend EasyWays. Their expertise and thoughtful planning made this one of the most memorable trips of my life!
From start to finish, everything ran so smoothly. The accommodations were lovely and we couldn't fault the selection EasyWays booked for us. We will definitely book with them again.
1. Payments are made in a way that you do not know exactly what you will get until after you pay, you get a general program and then refunds are not easyways. read the small letters!!
2. In case of no accommodation, they offer a transport with bus or taxi to a different location. in our case taxi was delayed for a very long time ended in very late arrival to the gust house.
3. In accurate place of the first luggage pickup
They arrange for your luggage to the shifted from accommodation to accommodation so all you need to do is focus in your walk. They arrange any necessary transfers. They take out all the stress of planning popular tours like the West Highland Way. However if your have special requirements they are able to tailor tours to suit your needs. They can help you arrange for dogs/young children to travel with you based on accommodation that can host these requirements. Either fill in an enquiry form via thier website or send the team an email. I am an amateur walker and Easyways showed me how much more I can do and inspired me to some phenomenal walks and see the best of Scotland.
We have been very happy with the standard of accommodation over the years.
The staff at Easyways are great to deal with - friendly and helpful and the whole process is entirely painless.
In a nutshell, we automatically turn to Easyways when considering a long walk - wouldn't go anywhere else!
Route Stops
Arrive in picturesque town of Callander, the ‘Gateway to the Highlands’.
This section leads out of Callander, through woods alongside the shores of Loch Lubnaig. It follows the loch on a well-defined cycle path for most of the distance, to reach the village of Strathyre by crossing a wooden suspension bridge at the River Balvag. It is possible to detour off the path, signposted approximately 3 km out of Callander, to visit the Falls of Leny.
Leave Strathyre by following a forest track above the east side of the glen, passing by the Mhor 84 Motel and on to a cycle path. Heading towards Balquidder until you reach the line of the old railway above Lochearnhead. Follow this north through Glen Ogle, before descending through woods past the Falls of Dochart to reach Killin.
Congratulations – you have completed the Trossachs Trek! After breakfast, it is time to set off on your onward journey.
Trossachs Trek
21 miles / 34 km
Enjoy a short experience of the Rob Roy Way with a trek from Callander to Killin.

Resume the following morning to pass the peak of Ben Ledi and the west shore of Loch Lubnaig (with an option to visit Balquhidder to view Rob Roy’s Grave), to rejoin the Way through Lochearnhead with an ascent through Glen Ogle to arrive at Killin, home of the wonderful Falls of Dochart.
