Nevis Range is often most visible during the winter months, particularly when conditions allow for Snowsports. However, its role in Lochaber extends across the entire year.
We now welcome around 300,000 visitors annually, making Nevis Range one of the most significant visitor attractions in the Highlands.
Using widely recognised economic impact models, this level of visitation is estimated to contribute around £30 million each year to the local economy. This includes not only spend on-site, but also the wider benefit to accommodation providers, transport services, hospitality businesses, and local suppliers.
This impact is not limited to peak periods. Activity at Nevis Range supports:
Year-round employment
Local businesses and supply chains
Events and tourism across the region
A large proportion of our visitors now come from outside the UK, helping to bring international tourism into Lochaber and the wider Highlands.
Alongside this, we continue to provide access for local communities through pricing, schools engagement, and year-round outdoor activity.
Mountain biking plays a central role in this, with trails and events supporting regular use and participation at all levels, particularly among younger riders.
Nevis Range is not just a winter destination — it is part of the wider infrastructure that supports tourism, employment, and outdoor access in the Highlands throughout the year.
