Climb Ben Nevis with Us
Guided Climb of Scotland’s Highest Mountain
The UK’s Biggest Challenge
Join the club of those that have reached the lofty heights of 1345m by successfully climbing The Ben, as she’s affectionately known. Your adventure will be accompanied by impressive mountainscapes which extend further still with every step you take. The final spectacular panorama from the summit, extending up to 120 miles in every direction, will soon ease any aching of the muscles. Amongst the mountain giants visible from here will be the beautifully rugged Torridon Hills, Ben Lomond, and even the Knocklayd in Northern Ireland!
Choose from the routes below:

Mountain Track
Difficulty level: moderate
Starting at only 20m above sea level, you will follow in the footsteps of early meteorologists as you ascend along their commute towards the summit observatory. The path, rising steeply at points, criss-crosses across the western flanks of the mountain.
The ‘halfway lochan’, Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe, at 570m affords an idyllic resting spot to rejuvenate before continuing up the remaining 700m towards success!

Carn Mor Dearg Arete
Difficulty level: hard
Treading the line between walking and scrambling, crossing the arete linking Carn Mor Dearg and Ben Nevis has a wonderful feeling of exposure, more suitable for those with a head for heights, it’s a fabulous day out for the more experienced hillwalker. This is a long day out that has an impressive 1506m of ascent.
