The charming Alexandra Hotel has been part of the fabric of Fort William since Victorian times. Centrally located in the town, the hotel offers comfortable accommodation and traditional Scottish hospitality. Facilities include Linnhe Restaurant; The Bistro; lift to all floors. Porterage is included.
TUESDAY We travel north to Scotland, taking breaks en route. After a welcome reception of fizz, enjoy dinner followed by entertainment.
CHRISTMAS EVE We make the short trip to Glen Nevis for a scenic gondola ride 650m up the north face of Aonach Mor. (Please be aware this is weather dependent) The viewing platform allows you the opportunity to absorb the stunning views and clear mountain air. We return to the hotel for a light lunch of soup and sandwiches, and for those seeking further fresh air, we head back out on the road to Spean Bridge, with the Commando Memorial, and onto the pretty village of Fort Augustus, where Loch Ness and the Caledonian canal join.
CHRISTMAS DAY Merry Christmas! A leisurely Bucks Fizz breakfast is the perfect start to proceedings, perhaps enjoy a walk in the surrounding Lochaber countryside to blow away the cobwebs. After Christmas Day lunch, there will even be a visit by Santa! Toast the King’s speech later with a glass of bubbly and Christmas Cake, and following a light buffet served early evening there will be another evening of entertainment to enjoy.
BOXING DAY A leisurely departure for a scenic tour today as we travel south following the shore of Loch Linnhe to Glencoe, a dramatic and striking glen which is home to some of Scotland’s most incredible landscapes and scenery. We include brief stops at Glencoe Falls and also the waterfalls on the Three Sisters Mountains. We return to Fort William for an afternoon at leisure; perhaps venture into town or make use of the leisure facilities at nearby sister property, the Ben Nevis Hotel.
SATURDAY We depart after our final Scottish breakfast and commence our journey home, making suitable stops en route.
