HOW YOU CAN HELP

Ben Nevis is an obvious attraction, but there

are many ways to enjoy the area.

For those looking for an easier walk,

head up to Steall Falls from the car park at

the end of the Glen Nevis road. The path is

rocky in places but suitable for walkers of

varying levels of experience, and leads to the

dramatic meadows of Steall where the falls

themselves plunge 105m down the rockface.

More adventurous walkers can trace

much of the border of the Trust’s Glen Nevis

property through Steall and on to Aonach

Beag via the spur of Sgurr a’ Bhuic before

descending Coire Guibhsachan. This route

avoids ski developments on the north side of

Aonach Mor, giving a long, remote and tough

hike with superb views.
