1. The walk starts in the north west corner of the car park at the furthest point from the Nevis Range visitor centre and gondola. Here there is a sign pointing the way into the woods and very soon a board with a map of the Lundy Trail route. Follow the path to the right, crossing over the river and bearing left through the mixed woodland. For a short section the route follows more open ground with some open views of the nearby hills, including a glimpse of Ben Nevis.
2. Keep straight ahead, this track is also shared with mountain bikers so watch out for riders. Cross the river again on a bridge and ignore a path leaving to the right, keeping straight ahead instead. The route is now in pine forestry and soon reaches a forestry track. Turn left here, ignoring the narrow mountain bike route coming down from the right and follow the wide track.
3. Keep straight ahead on this track, ignoring a turning to the right, and eventually crossing a stream on a bridge. Soon the car park is reached, the path continues to the bottom of the main mountain bike track near the Nevis Range Centre although there are a number of places where you can turn left to return to the car park at the foot of the Nevis Range gondola, which is actually on the slopes of Aonach Mor.
