From 7am on Monday 30 October, the larger parking area, known as the Coire Gabhail / Hidden Valley car park, will be closed for approximately eight weeks until Friday 22 December, for redesign and resurfacing, including the introduction of marked parking bays to ensure a safer and more organised parking capacity.

From end of November, the smaller parking layby, known as the Coire nan Lochan layby, will also be closed for up to four weeks, in order to undertake improvement works and resurfacing. In the future, this layby will be dedicated to buses and coaches.

Most work will be taking place off-road, limiting disruption to road users, though there will be several occasions when traffic management on the A82 will be in place.

While the parking areas are closed, drivers are asked to respect road signage, stop only in other designated car parks and laybys, and not park illegally on the roadside, which is a Clearway throughout the Glencoe area. Footpaths into the mountains around the Three Sisters and the Aonach Eagach will not be affected.

This work has been programmed to avoid the height of the summer tourist season, as well as the traditional winter climbing season, to minimise impact on visitors and walkers, however we understand it may cause inconvenience to some, and thank everyone for their patience.
