    Tips

    Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe is often referred to as the Halfway Lochan and it is a distinctive landmark when ascending the Ben from Glen Nevis. The 'halfway' tag should really apply to the T-junction rather than the lochan, which lies at around 1,840 feet (560 m), about 300 feet (100 m) short of such an accolade.



    This meeting of paths is an important junction. Those taking the popular Pony Track to the summit begin their climb on the zigzags by heading south. Better, though, to head north for Coire Leis and the North Face of the Ben. From here the awesome hikers' ridge, the Càrn Mòr Dearg Arête, can be accessed, as well as various scrambles and climbs on the world famous north face.

      The view over this small loch on the Nevis plateau is superb.

        A wonderful place to camp and breathe in or out of Ben Nevis
