BEN NEVIS
"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves"
Edmund Hillary
Climbing or hiking Ben Nevis is a hugely challenging and rewarding day out for all those who choose to undertake it, and with a guided ascent you can experience the best this mountain has to offer in the company of one of our local and experienced guides. With a number of routes to choose from there is something for everyone, from people going for their first mountain to experienced hill walkers and climbers looking for a more challenging way to the summit.
Many people climb Ben Nevis by the various routes every year, but you should always be prepared for the conditions you will face with the appropriate knowledge and equipment. The weather can change dramatically in a matter of minutes, and there can be snow on the mountain from September or October until well into July.
