At the top station the gift shops offer interesting souvenirs to act as a reminder of your visit to Nevis Range, where we also offer the unique opportunity to post your cards from the highest post box in Scotland, which boast its own special stamp. We have also recently developed a Mountain Discovery Centre, which aims to educate adults and children alike about the wildlife, mountain habitat and landscape that surrounds us.

At the Snowgoose Restaurant visitors can enjoy delicious home cooking and fresh baking made from local produce, or alternatively sample a local dram in the bar. Selected Friday evenings during the summer visitors can enjoy a meal at the Snowgoose restaurant, with Music up a Mountain entertainment evenings. Sunset Music up a Mountain Evenings are truly a once in a lifetime experience and you can be assured that a memorable time will be had by all.

For the more active within your groups we also have an internationally acclaimed Downhill Mountain Biking Track, which hosts several major events during the summer months including the World Cup. During the winter months our slopes come alive with skiers and snowboarders, attracted by our record for good snow conditions running late into the season.

Last but by no means least, for those who prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground, the base station boasts a cafe and a series of forest walks ranging in length and difficulty. However many visitors prefer just to relax in the tranquil setting and enjoy the spectacular scenery.

Time Required

Most groups visiting Nevis Range allow a minimum of one hour for their stay. The cable car trip itself takes approximately 15 minutes each way, rotating on a continuous cycle so minimal queuing can be expected. Additional time may be required if members of your group wish to walk along to either of the viewpoints to admire the stunning views or if you wish to make use of the restaurant as a meal stop.

Additional Facilities

During summer sit outside at the Snowgoose restaurantWelcome on arrival: Staff at the centre are more than willing to welcome your group to Nevis Range on arrival, providing details about the experience itself and the facilities that are available to them. This is also an ideal time to answer any queries that members of your group may have.

Free parking: The centre has ample parking with a coach drop-off point directly outside the base station.

Disabled access: The cable cars can accommodate most wheelchairs up to 60cm wide, and can be slowed down or stopped to help access.

Discounts Available

Groups of 12 or more people currently receive a 15% discount on Adult and Child Gondola tickets, when purchased in a single transaction.

Booking

It is not necessary to make a booking in advance if your group merely want to take a trip in the Gondola, as the Gondola runs on a continuous cycle so can accommodate large groups at any time during the day.

We do however strongly advise pre-booking large groups if you wish to make use of the catering facilities or are interested in taking part in any of the onsite activities, i.e. skiing, snowboarding or mountain biking.
