Mountain Walks

Walk up high above the glens to ridges, crags, peaks and incredible views.

Walking up out of the glens onto higher ground, climbing mountains gives you a new perspective on the landscape. There are so many incredible mountains easily accessible from Fort William with options for days out to suit any level of ability or experience. Climb Ben Nevis via the Mountain Track, cross the Carn Mor Dearg Arete, venture into the Mamores or the Grey Corries or further afield into the mountains of Morar.

  • Ben Nevis via the Mountain Track

    At 1345m (4413 ft), Ben Nevis towers over even the tallest of its neighboring peaks. Starting from Glen Nevis, the Mountain Track or Pony Track weaves its way up the lower slopes and takes us onto the rocky summit plateau, where views on a clear day stretch far across the Western Highlands and Islands and inland towards the Cairngorms Mountain Range.

  • A Loop of the Western Mamores

    The Mamores are a range of mountains (including 10 Munros) which separate Glen Nevis from Kinlochleven. This route starts and finishes in Glen Nevis, taking in two of the range’s western peaks: Stob Ban and Mullach nan Coirean.

    The loop begins by climbing up from Glen Nevis past the northeast face of Stob Ban, before climbing its summit and traversing a broad rocky ridge west onto Mullach nan Coirean. All along, good views north to the Ben Nevis range and south to Glencoe can be seen. From here a gentle descent is had down a spur of the mountain back into Glen Nevis.

  • Ben Nevis via Carn Mor Dearg

    Carn Mor Dearg lies across the Allt a’Mhuillin Glen from Ben Nevis and at 1220m tall (4003 ft), it is a sizeable mountain in itself. Carn Mor Dearg is linked to Ben Nevis by the Carn Mor Dearg Arete - a narrow, rocky ridge which forms a wall around the southeastern end of the Allt a’Mhuillin Glen.

    Climbing Ben Nevis via Carn Mor Dearg takes in the summits of Carn Dearg Meadhonach and Carn Mor Dearg, before traversing the narrow arete and climbing to the summit of Ben Nevis. This is a mountain day best enjoyed in clear and calm weather.
