Following the footsteps of history hiking up the pony track ( mountain path ). We will start from Glen Nevis visitor centre meeting at 8am.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                         An enjoyable pace will be set whilst we make our way up to the half way lochan where we will have a quick break and bite to eat, refuelling us for the journey to the top. Time for a final push to the summit and soon to be some of the highest people in the UK, with 360* views if we get lucky enough with the weather! Learn about some of the history of Ben Nevis and its summit features whilst enjoying a well deserved break.

Geal Charn & A’ Mharconaich, Drumochter £60 per person

Ascent - 731m
Time - 6/8 hours
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The drumochter Munros in summer are fairly straight forward and don’t stand out much in comparison to others. However in winter they make for a great day out and give a little more excitement to these Munros. This day is ideal for those who have been on a winter skills course with use of crampons and ice axes and are looking to maintain their skills and enjoy a winters day taking in two Munros. You must have strong hill fitness to be able to attend this event. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                      What the day includes -
Meeting in the morning at Balsparron cottage with a high level starting point , the ascent for these two munros is minimal. Setting off with a good track underfoot, a short walk to warm up the legs before we start ascending. A gentle gradient continues as we make our way to the first summit , Geal Charn.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                            After a break and bite to eat we head on, dropping down to the bealach then a short pull up onto the vast plateau of our second Munro, A Mharconaich. To avoid the river crossing on descent we will descend back to the bealach and catch the landrover track joining the main path back out to the cars. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                      Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking.

An early start as we have a good amount of distance to cover for this hike, for the first couple of hours we will be gradually taking in ascent as we pull upwards Bealach Leamhain, being on a landrover track for the majority of the distance.

After a well deserved break we will retrace our steps over the broad ridge and depending on conditions either opt for a short cut off the shoulder or aim back to the Bealach to pick up the track back.
With a longer walk in for this Munro a feeling of remoteness in the wild surroundings and not far off reach of the Alder range.

This single Munro makes for a great day on the hills in winter with a few short and steep sections throughout but lots of great gradient as you traverse over the moor.
                                                                                                                                                                                                         You must have previous winter hiking experience with crampons and ice axe or have been on a winter skills course with use of crampons and ice axe.

Meeting at Achnasheen in the morning we will start our hike from here, with our summit out of view just now we will pull up quite steeply to start as we make our way onto the vast moorland. From here we will cross over the moor and make our way towards our summit.
A gentle gradient pulls us up onto the ridge line where the views open out and the character of this mountain starts to show.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                           A short distance we will soon reach the summit of Fionn Bheinn and hopefully take in the spectacular summit views.
After a break and bite to eat we will retrace our steps the way we came.
                                                                                                                                                                                                     Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          What the day includes -
We will meet in the morning and start our hike making our way up the Glen, a few KMs walk in to warm up the legs at the start of the day before we start ascending.
Before we approach Coire Fionnaraich we will head off the main path and start getting some ascent in, though this route makes for a really nice gradient for the full day.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Once we reach the Bealach you will be drawn in to the spectacular views of An Ruadh Stac , an impressive rocky Corbett whilst lays next to our Munro and will be in sight for the remainder of the day, giving you more reasons to head back to this breath taking area to explore deeper.
A short steep section for another gradual but rocky ascent for the final push up to the summit of Maol Chean Dearg. We will enjoy a well deserved break and bite to eat whilst taking soaking up the surrounding views.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  Retracing our steps back out the same way we came in for a leisurely walk back to the cars.
