Nevis Range, Scotland 's highest ski area, is a winter wonderland for snowsport enthusiasts and sightseers alike. Whether you are looking to relax in the tranquil setting and absorb the stunning scenery or take part in one of our action packed activities, we have something to suit everyone here at Nevis Range.
What we do best:
Mountain Gondola Access to Launch Areas: Nevis Range provides easy access to two popular launch areas via the mountain gondola. Both launch areas are 20 minutes walk from the Top Station, follow the gravelled footpaths in either direction. Nevis Range is a registered flying site and welcomes both paraglider and handglider pilots.
Launch Areas:
- Sgurr Finnis-aig: NN189 762 Alt 663m Direction NW - NNE
- Meall Beag: NN178 754 Alt 630m Direction NW - W - WSW
Landing Areas:
- Nevis Range Car Park: NN171 773 Alt 100m
- Hanglider landing area: NN181 786 Alt 144m.
Exclusion Zone: Fort William Flying Agreement
Please observe the exclusion zones (situated SW from Aonach Mor). Alcan UK (a major landowner in the area) have requested that pilots observe a voluntary exclusion zone of 750m diameter centred on NN 126 750 and 500m diameter centred on
NN 137 748.
It would be appreciated if all pilots flying in the area were to stay clear of the exclusion zones described above. As these areas would normally be avoided anyway the agreement should be of little inconvenience to pilots. Alcan have no wish to restrict flying activity in the Fort William area and by complying with the above request it will be possible for further areas of co-operation between pilots and this landowner to be explored.
