Climbing Ben Nevis on a Cold, Rainy, Windy Day

Ann_C, May 2025
Hiking Ben Nevis can be challenging. You have to watch the weather. Climbing this mountain in adverse conditions can make this climb very strenuous. The key is wearing the proper clothing for weather conditions (which makes packing a challenge). Finally, having an experienced guide is essential. Our guide, James, was knowledgeable about the mountain and how to successfully make the climb. All and all, it was a great experience. We will do it again.

What a great day!

A great experience from start to finish. Our guide Michaél (Murph) was fabulous and very patient with me as my progress back down slowed as tiredness set in. The sense of achievement is great and the views on the way up and from the top are unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Experience

Iain took us up Ben Nevis, he was extremely friendly and his knowledge of the mountain was outstanding. Overall great experience

Paysages fabuleux

Claude_L, Sep 2023
Les paysages étaient fabuleux. Belle ascension mais le guide n’était pas nécessaire car un seul trajet possible et aucune façon de se tromper. Pas vraiment d’historique ou d’informations de plus fournies par le guide.
