Falls of Glomach

A breathtaking Highland waterfall cuts through Scotland’s wildest countryside

Planning Your Visit

Planning your visit

The main route to the falls is from Morvich via the Bealach na Sroine pass, which is over 500m (1,800ft) in altitude. Visitors should be suitably equipped for a remote mountain environment, including appropriate clothing and footwear as well as a map and compass.

There’s no phone reception for most of the way – please make sure someone else knows your plans before setting off.

We’d love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what’s good and where we need to do better.

Walks

Enjoy the challenging walk to one of the country’s finest waterfalls, in one of the remotest and least spoilt areas of the Highlands.

Experienced hikers might want to try the route along Glen Elchaig, a 14-mile round hike taking approximately 8 hours. Leave the car at the Ling Bridge by Loch Long. This can be shortened by using a bike for part of the way. Beware – the path from Glen Elchaig to the falls is precarious.
