Skiing to Mountaineering
The four apartments and lodge which comprise Snowgoose Mountain Centre is situated at the extreme
South West end of the Caledonian Canal built by Telford in the early 1800's. Fort William is four
miles away. The site itself is historically important.
The building was originally a smithy and
forge before the building of the canal. Ben Nevis is six miles away and dominates the landscape.
The apartments overlook the tidal waters of Upper Loch Linnhe, which is dotted with several small islands.
Adding to the local scene is a wide variety of boats and yachts which pass through the canal basin at
Corpach a few yards away from the property. The steam train which uses the West Highland Line to Mallaig
passes the cottage. in fact the property was formerly known as Station Cottages at a time when it took
two and a half days to get from King's Cross in London to Mallaig by train!
This is definitely not an away from it all "end of the glen" location. However the unique site will make
for an interesting, excitingly peaceful holiday.
With over 1500 lakes and ponds, 46 major peaks, and hundreds of miles of hiking and bike trails, the
Adirondack Park is, quite literally, a 6 million acre playground and sports paradise!
