Led by an experienced guide from Lamont Mountain Adventures, you can take on the challenge of conquering the mighty Ben Nevis to raise vital funds for the cats and kittens in our care.

Join our group of cat-lovers for a safe and supportive experience as you climb the UK's highest peak. You'll be achieving something amazing and you might even make some new friends along the way!

How much do I have to raise?

For this trek there is a registration fee of £25 and we ask you to raise £150 to help the cats and kittens in our care. Or if you'd prefer to raise whatever you can, you can pay a £55 registration fee and have no fundraising commitment.

How much experience do I need?

We'll be with you every step of the way from sign up to the summit! In the lead up to the climb, we'll provide full support and ideas to help you exceed your fundraising commitment.

During the trek, we'll be led by a mountaineering expert who will guide our group safely up and down the mountain. It is physically demanding, so you will need to have a reasonable level of fitness and be suitably equipped.

Why should I climb Ben Nevis with Cats Protection?

You'll enjoy a great day out and achieve a personal challenge at the same time! What's more, by raising £150 you could provide a full health check for a cat including blood tests, neutering, microchipping and vaccinations.
