About & Details

Standing on top of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, gives an amazing sense of achievement.  If the weather is kind, the views from the summit, and even from half way up, are quite stunning.  On a good day, you can see all the way to the majestic rock spires of The Isle of Skye and looking the other way, down Loch Linnhe to the Irish Sea.  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 from May to October.  Please enquire should you wish to do a winter version (Dec – Apr).
