Ben Nevis

Ben Nevis at 1,345 meters is the highest mountain in the British Isles, a massive granite massif in the Scottish Highlands near Fort William that attracts over 100,000 climbers annually. The popular Mountain Track (tourist path) offers a challenging but non-technical full-day return hike through dramatic highland landscapes. The mountain's northern face presents serious technical climbing routes, while its summit plateau is notorious for sudden severe weather.
