Ben Nevis is Scotland's iconic mountain, standing tall with a wild heart and adventurous spirit. It was once a massive volcano that exploded and collapsed inwards on itself millions of years ago. The name Ben Nevis translates to 'mountain with its head in the clouds' or 'venomous mountain', depending on your preference. With two main walking routes, including the Mountain Track for beginners and the challenging Carn Mor Dearg Arête for experienced hikers, bagging 'the Ben' is a must-do for any Scottish adventurer.
