How to get here

Nevis Range is 7 miles north of Fort William in the heart of the Scottish Highlands.  The resort sits on the mountain of Aonach Mor, the eighth highest peak in Britain, just 2 peaks from Ben Nevis.

From Fort William to Nevis Range

By bike or by foot - you can cycle or walk to Nevis Range along the pathway which follows the A82, signpost to Inverness.  Once the pathway reaches Torlundy, it veers away from the A82 and heads through Leanachan forest, and to Nevis Range

By car - Nevis Range is located 7 miles north of Fort WIlliam, on the A82 to Inverness.  It is extremely well signposted, and the access road to Nevis Range is a tarmac road; if you turn into a track, then you are on the wrong road.  Our postcode is PH33 6SQ, however this is a new postcode, so please be are aware that it takes time for all the Sat Navs to account for this new information.  The old postcode directed Sat Nav users to a small carpark in Leanachan forest, causing considerable confustion! If you are driving, we recommend watching our for the traditional brown tourist signposting.
