Venue Description

Since opening in 1989 Nevis Range has been welcoming guests to indulge in their mountain pursuits right here in the heart of the Highlands. As a business, we offer year-round mountain access to 200,000 skiers, snowboarders, climbers, bikers, hillwalkers and sightseers! Throughout the year, as we transition between our winter and summer seasons our team adapt from offering snow sports activities to our summer programme of mountain biking and hillwalking. As a unique mountain resort welcoming over 200,000 visitors per year and hosting some of the largest events in the mountain biking calendar, we rely on the natural beauty of the surrounding environment to give our venue its allure. As a result, all aspects of our business have a conscious focus on sustainability which has, in turn, allowed us to achieve carbon-neutral status with our next goal being to achieve Net Zero emissions. Inclusivity and accessibility sit alongside sustainability at the heart of our operation here at Nevis Range. We’re proud of how accessible our gondola makes getting up into the mountains! Whether it’s allowing individuals with disabilities to explore at altitude with their able-bodied friends and family or helping grandparents experience the mountain with their grandchildren, regardless of age and level of mobility. Our gondola can be slowed or stopped completely to allow easier access when required. It can accommodate mobility/walking aides as wide as 60cm. If a person’s wheelchair/aide exceeds 60cm we have a folding one we lend to guests for their visit. Once at the top station, guests in wheelchairs or mobility scooters have full access to The Snowgoose Café as well as our viewpoint balcony where they can enjoy some coffee with spectacular highland views perched over 2000ft up Aonach Mor.

Accessibility

There are no stairs upon entry to Nevis Range. Guests that are riding on our mountain gondola can make use of a ramp which our gondola operators will put in place for use, this allows wheelchairs or other walking aids narrower than 60cm to enter the gondola with ease. If a guest's wheelchair is wider than 60cm we have a folding chair that guests can make use of for the duration of their visit. Upon arriving at our top station, another ramp will be put in place for exiting the gondola. Blue badge holders will also receive 20% off their tickets at Nevis Range and they can also receive a free ticket for an accompanying carer.

Toilets

We have two disabled toilets at our base station, one in the Pinemarten Café and one in our bottom station gondola hall. There is also a disabled toilet at our top station, located next to the Snowgoose Café

Assistance dog facilities

Assistance dog exercise facilities

We do not allow off-lead dogs near our top or bottom stations as it can pose a safety risk for the dogs with our gondola operation. There are lots of areas around the perimeter of our car park and into the surrounding Leanachan Forest where dogs can be exercised off-lead at the owners own risk.
