As well as the traditional rural sports of fishing, shooting and stalking, the Nevis Range Ski Centre near Fort William offers year-round activities. There are many way-marked walks and cycle trails in the area including the Great Glen Way.

Nearby Fort Augustus has a good range of shops and amenities as well as schooling up to secondary level. Inverness has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.
