Description
The Devil's Staircase Trail is a unique mountain trail located along the West Highland Way in Scotland. It offers an unforgettable experience for hikers and adventurers.
The trail is famous for its steep serpentines and rugged terrain, requiring hikers to climb about 1,850 feet of elevation. The difficulty of the hike is rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, including the majestic Buachaille Etive Mòr.
Originally built in the 18th century for military purposes, the trail is now a historical attraction with significant engineering value. Prepare appropriate gear - trekking boots and warm clothing are essential due to the changing weather conditions.

Rebekah Lee Ja week agoYou can do it!! I saw 70+ year olds tackle it so don’t be afraid. Worth the view :) just take your time.
Martin3 years agoIt's a footpath with OK views. There are better viewpoints in this amazing area but it's fine if you are walking between the pass of glencoe and Kinlochleven. It used to be a military road so the gradients are never too steep
Barbara Coffman5 years agoSteep hike up the valley slopes of Glen Coe. Strenuous but the views are absolutely worth it. Small waterfalls are common, and if you hike in late summer, the purple heather provides a stunning contrast to the green mountains.Related categories
