  Avalanche forecast season

  15. des – 15. apr · vanligvisSkredsesong

  The Lochaber forecast runs from mid-December to mid-April and covers Ben Nevis and the Aonachs. The north face gullies are a winter climbing venue, not a walk, whatever the summit path suggests. Kilde ↗

• Sesong

  Nevis Range ski season

  20. des – 15. apr · vanligvis

  The gondola runs all year but the snowsports season is roughly Christmas to April, and in a thin winter it is a fortnight of it. The hill's own report the same morning is the only useful forecast. Kilde ↗

• Helligdag

  Christmas and Boxing Day

  Christmas Day and Boxing Day are bank holidays. Public transport is minimal or absent on 25 December and thin on the 26th, and most shops, attractions and many pubs and restaurants close on Christmas Day, so plan travel and meals ahead. Kilde ↗
