Glen Nevis Mountain - Highlands
Well, here we are, Britain's highest peak, the one they all want to climb
and fortunately it's not too difficult.
From the car park at the Visitor's Centre, the Ben Path starts across a
bridge over the River Nevis and takes you along the riverbank for about a
half mile then turns left alongside an open field

The path then starts to rise and you are on your way, onwards and
upwards to Ben Nevis. Stick to the path and you'll be back in time for
tea. Take your camera.
Glen Nevis Walk - Highlands
Take a left from the Glen Nevis campsite for 100yds, you can pick up a
path that goes through some forestry and then on to some open hillside.
If you were walking the West Highland Way, north to south, then basically
this would be the start. Here is a fine walk, although much of it is a
forest walk, and will eventually land you in Kinlochleven.
It is up to yourself how far you would wish to walk but a round trip to
Kinlochleven would be around 14miles and relatively easy walking. 8-9hrs.
Great views of the Nevis Range and the Mamores.

Aonoch Mor
About 7 miles. north of
Fort William, why not treat yourself with a trip
on the gondola ride that will take you almost to the top(2150ft.) of Aonoch Mor (15mins.) At the top of the ride there is actually a bar and restaurant but more
importantly, to use the vernacular, two wee smashing walks. Both are well
signposted, easy and short. The first goes left from the Snowgoose
Restaurant for 20 mins and at the end great views of The Torridons, to the
north, and Loch Lochy, can be found. The other goes right from the restaurant for 30 mins and you are blessed
with the splendid vistas of Fort William with Loch Linnhe and a great view
of Ben Nevis. Well worth the admission fee
