Nevis Range Mountain Gondola

Welcome

Scotland’s tallest mountain, the summit of Ben Nevis is at an elevation of 4,411ft above sea level.

For less experienced walkers there is a mountain track to the top, and on a clear day the views from it are magnificent. For the more experienced walkers there is a harder route to the top, the Càrn Mòr Dearg Arête, which is more challenging and should only be attempted by experienced scramblers. Guided walking tours are also available where you can learn more about the mountain and views. Another attraction at Ben Nevis is the Mountain Gondola where you can relax and drift along the north face of the Aonach Mor taking in the amazing views to an elevation of 650m.
