Alltsigh Low/High Route Closure and Diversion Information: November 2025 – Summer 2026
Published: Tuesday, 15 April 2025
A section of the Low Route near Invermoriston will be temporarily closed from November 2025 to allow forestry harvesting works to take place. The route is expected to reopen in early March 2026.
Low Route Closure: November 2025 – March 2026
The harvesting activity is restricted to a small area on the hillside north of Invermoriston, meaning that the majority of the Low Route will remain accessible. However, it cannot be used as a through‑route during this period. Walkers and cyclists may still enjoy the open section as an out‑and‑back route, or connect between the High and Low Routes using the linking vehicle track located approximately halfway along the affected section (see map for details).
During the closure, users will be directed onto the High Route, which:
-
is approximately 1 km (0.6 miles) shorter than the equivalent Low Route section
-
does not introduce significant additional elevation
-
includes some steeper gradients that may be more challenging for cyclists
Further Planned Closures in 2026
High Route Closure – March/April 2026
Following completion of the Low Route works, the High Route will be unavailable for approximately 3 - 4 weeks in March/April 2026. During this period, all users will be diverted onto the Low Route. The High Route will be open for the Easter weekend.
Low Route Track Upgrade – Spring/Summer 2026
A further 3 - 4 week closure of the Low Route is planned for Spring/Summer 2026 to allow for track improvement works. During this period, all users will once again be directed to follow the High Route.
