Ben Nevis

Ben Nevis is Britain's highest peak, rising 1,345 meters above sea level. This majestic mountain is the remnant of an ancient volcano whose dome collapsed millions of years ago.

The most popular route to the summit, known as the Pony Path, is accessible to novice hikers, although it requires adequate preparation. For experienced climbers, the north face of Ben Nevis is one of Britain's most prized climbing destinations.

Keep in mind the variable weather conditions - at the summit the temperature often drops below freezing!
