If trekking Ben Nevis isn’t enough, then why not climb it under torchlight and the night sky? The Ben Nevis at Night Trek conquers the tallest mountain in the UK – in the dark.
You will be zig-zagging route and summit the mountain in time to see a stunning sunrise – weather permitting – across the Scottish Highlands. The trek will start at around 10pm or 11pm, and you will complete the descent in time for a hearty breakfast.
Your trail to the summit is not technically difficult, but trekking will be strenuous. You’ll be accompanied by experienced mountain leaders who will support you every step of the work, and the memories made will last a lifetime. And all for breast cancer research.
