Trek Ben Nevis is back this September!

Ben Nevis is nestled in the Scottish Southern Highlands and stands at 1,344 metres/4,409 feet tall. Trekking the highest mountain in the UK is a dream for hillwalkers, and we are excited to offer this amazing experience to you. 

Our experienced team of Mountain Leaders will lead the trek and guide our group up the highest mountain in the UK. The views at the top are spectacular and one to tick off the bucket list!

By taking on this amazing challenging, you will be helping raised funds to support the vital work of Autism NI. In particular, the money raised from the trek will support our Early Intervention service for local families in Northern Ireland.

Join #TeamAutismNI and sign up today for an amazing experience, as well as supporting a vital cause.

**Please note, participants must be over 18 years old, have a certain level of fitness to take part in this challenge and complete a medical form to declare their fitness and well-being.

Over the years, hundreds of people have joined us climbing the UK and Ireland’s highest mountain to raise money for local autism services.  They have literally stepped out of their comfort zone and spent a weekend in the Scottish Highlands that has for many been an immense challenge, but also such an amazing personal achievement.   

Whether you're a seasoned hiker or this is your first mountain challenge, we will be there to support you every step of the way!
