Join #TeamSpinal on a unique and thrilling experience with Global Adventure Challenges.
This challenge offers an awe-inspiring trek to the highest point in the UK, guided by torches and the stunning night sky! The Ben Nevis at Night Trek will see you conquer the tallest mountain in the UK, but with a difference. You’ll be setting off at night-time and the trek will follow the route as it zig-zags its way to the summit in time to witness a breath-taking sunrise (weather permitting!) across the Scottish Highlands on your descent. Let the crisp mountain air fill your lungs and the views steal it right back out again. Whether you’re an experienced adventurer or dipping your toe in the waters for the first time, the wonder and beauty of Ben Nevis at night will be an experience you won’t ever forget.
