Event Description

"A man does not climb a mountain without bringing some of it away with him and leaving something of himself upon it."

Martin Conway

Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK is a target of many walkers, this route takes you up the quietest side of the mountaintaking is some of the stunning views above Glen Nevis and the hidden slopes above.

Summits included on this route:

Ben Nevis	1344 metres/4435 feet

"Today is your day ! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way."

Dr Seuss

We will meet at the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre, from here we will drive up to the car park at the head of Glen Nevis and follow the path by Steall Falls turning off the main track and heading up the slope to the north into Alt Coire Ghiuthsachan amd then heading up the grassy slopes by Bealach Cumhann.

We continue climbing steadily above Sloc nan Uan until we reach the cairn above the Carn Mor Dearg Arete, with stunning views over Coire Leis. From here we climb up the bouldery final slope to the summit of Ben Nevis, eventually emerging onto the summit plateau a short walk from the trig point.

From the summit of Ben Nevis we shal descend west, following the supply track down, gently at first over the summit plateau before the path gets a bit steeper and descends in wide zig-zags until we're down at Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe (or Half Way Lochan).

From here the path descends the southern flank of Meall an t-Suidhe at a fairly steady gradient to the Ben Nevis Inn and then across the river to the visitor centre.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.

Answers:

We plan to walk whatever the weather, unless it is dangerous to do so.

Mountain weather can be a little unpredictable, but we do keep an eye on the forecasts leading up to walks, should the forecast mean that the walk is not possible then we will contact you as soon as we have the forecast and offer you the following options:
- A more suitable walk on the same date taking into consideration the weather conditions
- A transfer to the same walk on another date
- A full refund

Are dogs allowed on this walk?

Question:

Are dogs allowed on this walk?

Answers:

Posted by John Scadding on Thursday, 21 September 2017

Yes, dogs are allowed on all our walks.

However we do cross farmland and common land where animals will be grazing, there will be large sections of the walk, if not all, where dogs will be required to be on a lead.

There are sections of this walk across rough ground and boulders and as such this walk may not be suitable for all dogs.
