Trail description

The main route up Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, climbing from Glen Nevis on the well built Mountain Track. The path zigzags relentlessly up the western flank to a wide summit plateau that is often in cloud. Straightforward in good weather but serious in bad, with navigation vital near the top.
