Ben Nevis By Night Trek
Join us as we trek to the highest point in the UK – guided by torches and the stunning night sky! Our Ben Nevis at Night Trek sees us conquer the tallest mountain in the UK, but with a difference. We’ll be setting off at night-time and our trek will follow the route as it zig-zags its way to the summit in time to witness a breath-taking sunrise (weather permitting!) across the Scottish Highlands on our descent. The trek will be challenging; however, we’ll be accompanied by experienced mountain leaders supporting us every step of the way and we will return with memories to last a lifetime.
1 Day Itinerary
We meet in Fort William for a safety briefing. Around 10pm / 11pm we then start our trek! The trek to the summit zigzags its way through tough terrain and the landscape becomes ever more remote as we trek higher and higher, leaving the lowlands behind us. Our ascent should take
approximately 4-5 hours, and upon reaching the summit, we will be able to (hopefully!) enjoy a beautiful sunrise and take in the stunning views surrounding us. We begin our descent which should take approximately 3-4 hours and upon reaching the finish we are rewarded with a breakfast bap. We are then free to go on our onward journeys. Trekking distance - approx. 12 miles / 18km (Please note, this is a complex itinerary and is subject to change).
