Trip Description
As the highest peak in Scotland, the lure of Ben Nevis is obvious. We'll attempt this during the week as well as visiting some of the magnificent summits of the great ridges in the area.
The North and South sides of Glencoe offer tremendous ascents via the lost valley and from opposite ends of the Aonach Eagach ridge. Surrounding Ben Nevis, the high peaks of the Mamores offer expansive views across glens to the west coast and all in the shadow of 'The Ben'.
This is a great week for bagging those winter Munros of Lochaber, learning new skills, and building confidence as a winter hillwalker and standing on the highest place in the British Isles.
