It’s the perfect way to begin your exploration of the area’s dramatic landscape, as you ascend to the mid-station on Aonach Mor. The gondola offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, including the majestic Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak, and the towering peaks of the Mamores and the Grey Corries. The views on the way up are truly spectacular and offer a new perspective on the dramatic Highland scenery.
