The best time to climb Ben Nevis is during the summer months, typically from June to September. During this period, the weather is milder, and the paths are less likely to be covered in snow. Even in summer, conditions at the summit can be cold, windy, and cloudy. Winter ascents are much more challenging and should only be attempted by experienced climbers with the right equipment. Snow and ice are common from October to May. Many hikers aim for early mornings in summer to avoid afternoon clouds and crowds.
