The West Highland Way passes close to Glencoe, famed for its massacre of the MacDonald Clan, and finishes at Fort William near the foot of Ben Nevis, (Britain's highest peak, which can be readily ascended if you choose to spend an extra day in Fort William at the end of your walk). The West Highland Way is a well-established and popular route. The altitude range is from sea-level to 1,850 ft (4,408 ft if Ben Nevis is climbed).
