This epic hiking weekend is a two-night, three-day adventure for women who want a challenge, breathtaking views and a boost of confidence in the mountains all surrounded by an group of incredible women.
We’ll start the weekend with a welcome dinner and getting to know each other, ahead of our epic few days ahead.
Saturday is our big summit day: we’ll hike Ben Nevis via the Mountain Track, taking on 8km of steady ascent (with breaks along the way!) Reaching the top of the UK’s highest mountain is a true “wow, I did that” moment, knowing you’re the highest person in the UK and we’ll definitely add in some trig selfies (yes, there’s a trig!) That evening, we’ll unwind with a gentle stretch and reset, followed by a chilled group quiz to relax and laugh together after a huge day.
On Sunday, we’ll enjoy the Nevis Range Gondola and Skywalk Walk, an easy ridge wander with panoramic views – the perfect light adventure to close the trip before we say our goodbyes.
This weekend is about pushing your limits safely, discovering what you’re capable of whilst being surrounded by women who support and encourage you for a lifetime.
