Availability
Available all year round. Please allow at least six weeks advance notice for weekend bookings.
Participant Guidelines
Minimum age is 16. Participants should have good endurance and be able to keep moving all day on uneven ground. Please be aware that you are required to sign and complete a disclaimer on the day before you can participate in your experience.
Weather
As Ben Nevis is particularly exposed to poor weather and avalanche risk, on certain days it may be neccessary to switch to another summit.
Duration
A mountain day can last for up to ten hours, but seven to eight is more typical. The Ice Factor can arrange a shorter, easier day on request.
Numbers On Day
This is a one-to-one experience for just you and your guide.
Spectators
The experience isn't suitable for spectators, but is perfect for two people - if you'd like to bring a friend along, please call us to upgrade to a voucher for two.
Dress Code
Dress warmly and bring a change of clothes for when you've completed your climb. Wear warm waterproofs if you have them. Lots of thin layers are much more effective than one large bulky layer. All climbing equipment will be provided.
