Ben Nevis

Ben Nevis Review

Great Britain's highest mountain, the 4,406-foot Ben Nevis, looms over Fort William, less than 4 mi from Loch Linnhe. A trek to its summit is a rewarding experience, but you should be fit and well prepared—food and water, map and compass, first-aid kit, whistle, hat, gloves, and warm clothing (yes, even in summer) for starters—as the unpredictable weather can make it a hazardous hike. Ask for advice at the local tourist office before you begin.
