Private group tours up Ben Nevis, the UK's highest mountain with a fully qualified local mountain guide.

A stunning 9km / 5.5 mile forest walk following the winding Water of Nevis to the dramatic Steall Falls. The route meanders through the rocky Nevis Gorge and opens to the panoramic landscape of Glen Nevis. Steall Falls is third highest waterfall in Scotland and cascades 105 meters down the rock face. In Gaelic it's called An Steall Bàn meaning "The White Spout". This iconic area is featured in two Harry Potter films. At the end of the walk, there's a wire rope bridge over the river for the adventurous! You'll walk with Trev, your friendly local guide. The path is a little rocky and muddy in places, so he's on hand to help if needed. Plus, he's always happy to take photos. Feel free to bring along a picnic if the weather is nice. A blanket can be provided. This is a family friendly walk for 13+ year olds that are comfortable with the distance and terrain. Please note that if it's not rained for a while, the waterfalls won't be flowing fast.

The mighty Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the UK at 1,345 meters / 4,413 feet. At the summit, you earn phenomenal views of the Lochaber landscape. Your friendly local guide, Trev, will take care of navigation, safety and logistics so you can enjoy a fantastic day in the mountains. After the hike, we'll head to one of the pubs in the glen for a celebratory pint or dram. A private hike allows you to tailor the day to your liking. We could even summit later in the day to see the sunset. However, weather may affect some options. Your guide will keep you updated with the mountain forecast and can help with any clothing & equipment questions if needed.

Exciting wildlife encounters porpoises, otters, seabirds and more (all sightings are of truly wild animals, so every trip is unique and will vary and wild life is NOT guaranteed) Stunning views of Ben Nevis from the Loch.
