Start early and you should be done in 7-7.5 hrs. If the weather is nice the views are awesome. Definitely go up again in the near future before it gets too cold! Trekking poles were helpful coming down as I have wobbly knees :-)!

We went to the bike and gondola area. We walked up and around the bike track. Nice peaceful walk and nice views of the water streams.
A very touristy town, with lovely views over the loch and up towards Ben Nevis. Lots of food and drink shops/cafes/pubs. Lots of clothing shops and eateries, there is no way you will be able to leave without spending lots of money. Car park by loch is cheap.
Although we didn't use this facility there are cable cars on Ben Nevis and we spoke to people who had done this who said how good it was.
Alan Kimber was an excellent mountain guide. I learned how to use an ice axe, crampons effectively. The scenery was fantastic too!
Start of our 3 Peaks challenge. Very tuff with challenging weather conditions on top with snow, low cloud and high winds. We had a great time doing this walk.
Loved the views. We went on a warm day without mist so we had the best experience. Not very expensive and worth the money.
The walking trails are so beautiful if I were younger I would have had to climb all the way to the top.
Don't ask those descending how far it is to the top. It's always further than they say! Call at the Visitors Centre, check the weather and heed the good advice they offer. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
Five hours up with a 10 & 7 year old and 3.5 to 4 hours down. A very long day but worth it for the views and the achievement.
