Gondola

Nevis Range is committed to ensuring that we offer adequate access to the variety of facilities and activities available onsite, to a wide spectrum of visitors, including the four-legged variety!!

Disability Access

Nevis Range is committed to ensuring that the facilities they provide are accessible to visitors of all physical abilities, including those with limited mobility. The gondola cars themselves are able to accommodate wheelchairs up to 60cm wide and the operators will readily slow or stop the gondola cycle to allow access to our less able visitors, until they are onboard and fully prepared for the journey ahead. There are disabled toilets located at both the top and bottom stations and there is adequate disabled access to the Snowgoose Restaurant and the base station's Pinemarten Coffee Shop.

It is not necessary for you to inform us of your visit beforehand, when purchasing tickets our staff will provide you with the necessary information to ensure you have an enjoyable visit. Once onboard the gondola, the Gondola Operators at the base station will inform the Top Station Operator that a wheelchair user or less mobile customer is onboard a certain gondola, to ensure that they are prepared to stop the gondola on your arrival at the Top Station.

If you require any further assistance or information before your visit or whilst onsite please do not hesitate to contact us or ask a member of staff who will be more than willing to help.

Paragliding

In recent years Nevis Range has become a popular destination for paragliders and hangliders. The gondola offers a quick and effortless ride to a take-off altitude of 650m from either the Sgurr Finnisg-aig or Meall Beag viewpoints.

Flying amongst Britain's highest peaks is a spectacular and challenging experience. All pilots are welcome to make use of the facilities; hangliders can use the freight deck to carry their equipment to the top station however prior notice is always appreciated.

Dogs

Here at Nevis Range we do not object to your four-legged friends also wanting to experience a ride in the gondola!!  Owners are more than welcome to bring their dogs in the gondola and take them for a walk on one of the mountain viewpoint trails.

We do however request that when you reach the top station all dogs remain on a lead, as at certain times during the year there are sometimes deer and sheep around the top station. Visitors should also note that dogs are not allowed in the restaurant and bar area for health and hygiene reasons.
