The Nevis Range Mountain Gondola is the only one of its kind in Britain and reaches the heights of 650m. It was built on the north face of Aonach Mòr, the 8th highest mountain in Britain, originally as a way to transport skiers to the slopes. The Mountain Gondola has become an amazing visitor attraction, allowing visitors to enjoy the scenic ride and absorb the stunning views and clear mountain air. It is also widely used as a short cut by climbers to the many challenging winter climbing routes on Aonach Mòr and by hill walkers to access summer routes. During the summer mountain bikers who ride the exciting & challenging downhill tracks use the Gondola for uplift as do paragliders on their journey to the clouds.

Stunningly Beautiful Glencoe, is one of Scotland’s best known glens, sitting alongside the A82 and approximately sixteen miles south of Fort William, it shadows the A82 from both sides, with the enigmatic Aonach Eagach ridge on one side and the Three Sisters, Beinn Fhada, Gearr Aonach and Aonach Dubh proudly sitting opposite. It can’t be helped wanting to stop and admire the wonderful sites of Glencoe, and thankfully there are plenty of car parking places along the way. Arriving from the south to Glencoe you pass through Rannoch Moor, before being welcomed by the massive pyramid shaped mountain of Buachaille Etive Mor, often crowned by low clouds and dominating the skyline ahead. Coming from Fort William you pass through the village of Onich before crossing the Ballchulish bridge, with Loch Leven and Loch Linnhe greeting you on either side.
