About This Event

Muslim Hikers are preparing for their much-anticipated annual Ben Nevis trek, scheduled to take place on Sunday 23 August 2026. The day's adventure will commence promptly at 7am from the base of Ben Nevis, a familiar starting point near the picturesque town of Fort William. This year's participants will have the opportunity to join a guided ascent of the United Kingdom's tallest peak, promising a challenging yet rewarding experience. The organisation has confirmed that the cost for this popular event will vary, with prices ranging from a modest £27.75 to a more comprehensive £162.92, catering to different levels of engagement and support. This annual pilgrimage to the summit of Ben Nevis continues to be a significant date in the calendar for outdoor enthusiasts and members of the Muslim Hikers community.
