Travel Itinerary
- Exclusive to travelers from this booking.
This hike is possible all year round.
Your experienced and fully qualified Mountain Leader will guide you on a 1-day hike up Ben Nevis, which at 1345m, is the UK's highest mountain.
From Glen Nevis, you will hike up the historic Pony Track, which winds its way around the side of Meall an T-Suidhe, before reaching Halfway Lochan after 4km. From here, the path becomes a bit rockier and zig-zags up the western flank of Ben Nevis. At 1200m, the path eases off, as the summit plateau of the mountain is gained.
From here, there are amazing views as far as the Isle of Skye to the west, The North West Highlands to the north, and The Cairngorms to the east.
From where the gradient eases, it's a further 1km to the summit trig point. Here, there are also the remains of a meteorological observatory, which operated at the end of the 19th century.
The return is by the same route. In low visibility, careful navigation is required to avoid the steep cliffs of the north face and Finger Finger Gully.
Total Distance: 17km / 10.5 miles
