> Climb Britain's highest mountain Ben Nevis
> Accommodation before and after the trek included
> Hike the final stretch of the famous West Highland Way

The West Highland Way and Ben Nevis are done by thousands of people each year. The West Highland Way is Scotland's most popular trekking route and Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain at 1344 meters, is the most popular climb. But a far smaller number does them both in one trip. At Bookatrekking.com we created a trek along the spectacular final stage of the WHW from Kinlochleven to the foot of Ben Nevis. The next day you have the chance to climb this iconic hill, soaring high above the other Highland peaks.

This 2-day trek is perfect for a long weekend, even if you have to come from other parts of Europe. We make sure you start the trek well-rested and end the trek in comfort with accommodation before and after the hike. And we'll make sure your luggage is transported while you're on the trail. Come and climb Ben Nevis with us!

This section begins with a steep climb from Kinlochleven. Ahead of you is Lairigmor, also known as The Great Pass. The trail follows the valley as it curves north, leads you through forests and then takes you to Glen Nevis. The HRA then continues through forest plantations. Before finally descending to Fort William, you can visit the remains of Dun Deardail, an Iron Age fort in Glen Nevis. Then follow the trail to Fort William and make your way to the center of town. The end point of the WHW is the bronze statue of a fellow hiker in Gordon Square.

Climbing Ben Nevis, at 1,344m the highest peak in the British Isles, is a challenging yet rewarding adventure. Today you will first walk back to Glen Nevis, where you will follow the trail that leads you to the summit while offering great views of the Grey Corries and Loch Linnhe on clear days. After reaching the top, retrace your steps back down the trail to Glen Nevis and follow the path downstream to Fort William for your final night.
