Ben Nevis and Fort William Information

The walk up to Ben Nevis can be a tough trek if you are not used to the terrain. Take plenty of fluid with you and prepare yourself for all types of weather. Parking can be found at the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre. We can give you as much information as you require, having climbed the 'Ben' ourselves. Glen Nevis is only a couple of miles from Fort William, where you can browse the shops, sample the local cuisine and relax in the Leisure Centre. There are plenty of places to eat at night - from Indian restaurants to the more traditional Scottish cuisine. We are sure you'll agree, there's something here for everyone.
