Nevis Range and Ben Nevis
Being located close to the 'Ben', Glenlochy Guest House provides an ideal
location to climb Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK. Follow the
mountain path from the nearby Visitor Centre or arrange to go one of the more
exciting routes with an experienced guide - available locally.
Not
to be missed is a gondola trip up the Ben's sister mountain Aonach Mor where you
can sit in the restaurant or take a short walk along the path to the view point
which provides a stunning vista of the mountains, lochs and spectacular scenery
of Lochaber. The most recent attractions at Aonach Mor are the new

exciting routes to traverse for leisure or competitive events. The site
recently featured a leg of the Mountain Bicycle World Championships and was well
attended and received.
