Meet the peaks

Ben Nevis

The highest mountain in the British Isles offers a dramatic start, with panoramic views across Loch Linnhe and the Mamores.

  • Classic ascent via the Mountain Track or CMD Arete option for experienced teams.
  • Support vehicle staging in Fort William for fast turnarounds.

Ben Macdui

The vast Cairngorm plateau demands precise navigation and rewards teams with sweeping vistas over the Lairig Ghru.

  • Guided high-level traverse with contingency routes in poor visibility.
  • Opportunities to practice winter skills if you visit for pre-event training.

Braeriach

The Cairngorms’ second giant closes the challenge with airy ridgelines and views over the sculpted corries of Coire Bhrochain.

  • Carefully paced ascent to manage tired legs on complex terrain.
  • Summit celebration before returning to Aviemore for debrief and onward travel.
