To wrap up for 2023, here is another walk brought to us by the Pathways Group! This route eplores the SSE Track starting from Foyers Carpark.  Lets us know if you take on any of these walks and send us your photos!  Happy hiking!  Tried this one?  Then head to the Walk the Walk page and see all the other walks that have been documented and give one a go!

SSE Track from Foyers Carpark

3.07 miles in total. A good workout on a SSE track which rises steadily for about 1.5 miles.

Moderate.

Description

From the car park in Upper Foyers, turn right and pass the shop and cafe, heading downhill. After the sign to The Craigdarroch look for a road on your right with a blue South Loch Ness Trail marker post. Walk up this small road and then follow the track with the green right of way sign - Path to Inverfarigaig and Boleskine via hill route. The track takes you past the back of the village school and a small reservoir and continues to rise steadily uphill for about a mile. Look out for the shaft at a small clearing. This is the service tunnel for the Foyers Pump Storage Hydro scheme. After the track bends around to the right you will see a blue South Loch Ness Trail post on the left. Ignore this and carry on walking uphill until you reach a junction. Straight on terminates at an SSE installation. Turn left and you will arrive at a pleasant clearing in the woods where you can have a rest before turning round and re-tracing your steps back to the car park.
