Hiking Ben Nevis can be challenging. You have to watch the weather. Climbing this mountain in adverse conditions can make this climb very strenuous. The key is wearing the proper clothing for weather conditions (which makes packing a challenge). Finally, having an experienced guide is essential. Our guide, James, was knowledgeable about the mountain and how to successfully make the climb. All and all, it was a great experience. We will do it again.

A great experience from start to finish. Our guide Michaél (Murph) was fabulous and very patient with me as my progress back down slowed as tiredness set in. The sense of achievement is great and the views on the way up and from the top are unforgettable. Highly recommended!
