How to Climb Ben Nevis! ⛰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 

1. Train or drive from Glasgow to Fort William and spend the night there.

2. Drive or taxi to the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre where you can begin the hike.

3. Take the Mountain Path for the easiest and best marked trail up Nevis.

4. The trail will take about 6 hours. Come prepared!

5. It’s well marked but you’ll need to bring 2-3 litres of water and plenty of snacks with you.

6. Dress appropriately and bring a hat and hiking boots, plus warm clothing for the summit.

7. Check the weather carefully before you set out, even during the summer. Things can change quickly up here.

8. There aren’t any facilities on the climb, but the views make up for it!

Top 5 Free Things to Do in Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

3. Wander inside the Cathedral & walk up to the Necropolis - perfect on a sunny day.

4. Chill in Glasgow Green and stroll by the river - the bridges here are beautiful. 

5. Head to the Botanic Gardens…
