Description

Ben Nevis requires little introduction. With a wild heart, an adventurous spirit and a flair for drama, the legendary peak towers above glistening lochans and deep glacial valleys. In Scotland, you can't get any higher than this. Scotland's largest mountain was once a massive active volcano which exploded and collapsed inwards on itself millions of years ago. Altitude: 1345 metres Steep path throughout. The upper section is rough and very stony; it is often snow covered and losing the line of the path easily leads onto dangerous terrain - navigational skills are needed. NB. as with any mountain walk, any ascent when snow is lying on the path requires winter equipment and skills. The walk takes about 4 hours on the accent and 3 hours on the decent, not including any stops.
