Training for Ben Nevis
Do you need to train before walking up Ben Nevis?
- Anyone who is reasonably fit with no health problems should be able to walk up and down Ben Nevis in under 8 hours.
- You shouldn’t need to ‘train’ specifically for the walk, but of course any extra uphill walking beforehand will help and the fitter you are then the more you’ll enjoy it!
- Try walking a 16km walk that’s reasonably flat in the first instance, if you can’t complete that then you’ll struggle walking up Ben Nevis.
- Why not try some lower peaks first?
- If in ANY doubt – ask your doctor.
