Jacobite Steam Train
The most relaxing way to take in the wild, birch- and bracken-covered slopes is by rail, and the best ride is on the historic Jacobite Steam Train, a spectacularly scenic 84-mile round-trip that runs between Fort William and Mallaig. You'll see mountains, lochs, beaches, and islands along the way. There are two trips a day between late April and late October (though weekend trips are only in the height of summer). Only round-trip tickets are available; you can pay roughly 50% more to upgrade to first class.
