Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain stands at 1,344m high and is located in the Western Highlands of Scotland. This is a magnificent mountain with 360 degrees of stunning scenery.
Standing on top of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, gives an amazing sense of achievement. At 1344m above sea level it is not uncommon to find over 2m of snow on the summit in March. Weather conditions permit us to run this course anytime from May to October. Please enquire should you wish to attempt a winter version (Dec – Apr).
Please select from Optional Extras at Checkout.

Autistica is the UK’s leading autism research charity funding world-class research that will make the biggest difference to people’s lives. We are unique because our research is guided entirely by the people we serve: the individuals and families living with autism every day. 1 in 100 people has autism and it’s much more challenging than most people realize in fact a quarter of those with autism will never learn to speak. We fund science to understand the condition better, improve diagnosis and develop new interventions. Our vision is a long, healthy and happy life for autistic people and their families.
