When to go

Ben Wyvis National Nature Reserve is all year-round and offers something different in each season. For optimal conditions for walking the trails, the best time to visit is during spring or summer, which is also the best time to see ptarmigan, dotterals, golden eagles and rich mosses. Fall promises a landscape carpeted in rich colors and the spectacle of rutting red deer. The views from the top on a clear winter day are especially beautiful.

Know before you go

  • While it’s a relatively easy trail to the top, the weather can quickly change. Visitors should have sturdy walking boots, warm and waterproof clothing, and food and drink for the day. 
  • Visitors should observe the Scottish Outdoor Access Code: keep to paths to avoid disturbing breeding birds and mosses; leave no trace, and refrain from picking flowers.
  • The closest bus stop is in the village of Garve, five miles (eight kilometers) from the reserve’s parking lot. Garve also has a train station with direct service Inverness and Kyle of Lochalsh.
