Ben Nevis Weekend Trek

• Add to wish list

The climb of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, is a most fantastic challenge and will leave you exhilerated from your weekend trek achievement.

The Scottish Highlands are full of enchantment with the ancient past all around. You will be overwhelmed by the increasing remoteness and the unspoilt environment as you leave the lowlands on your Ben Nevis weekend trek.

Ben Nevis (Gaelic translation ‘Mountain of Heaven’) itself is the highest point in the British Isles and stands at the lofty height of 1343m above sea level or about 4000ft in old money! Fort William, on the southern edge of the Great Glen, is the nearest town and is located on a sea loch, we set up base here.

Our weekend trek challenge takes us into the heart of the Nevis Range, a breathtaking mountainous land; our only goal is to reach the summit of Ben Nevis.

DAY 1: Arrive late afternoon for a full briefing about the weekend trek events and evening meal
DAY 2: After a good breakfast we begin our ascent of Ben Nevis, it can take between 6 to 8 hours depending on weather conditions. We climb steadily to Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe, then tackle the famous Zig Zags, finally crossing the boulder field to the summit cairn. Time to rest and reflect before beginning our descent. Return to hotel for celebration meal
DAY 3: After a good rest overnight we are free to make our way home.
