Walking Britain Stob Ban (Mamores) from Glen Nevis
Introduction to Walk 3095
County/Area - Highland
Author - Peter Smyly
Length - 6.0 miles / 9.8 km
Ascent - 3000 feet / 909 metres
Grade - mod/hard
A Highland walk from Glen Nevis to the shapely white quartzite peak of Stob Ban in the Mamores range of the north-west highlands of Scotland. It may not hold the same attraction as Ben Nevis across the glen, and it sees far fewer walkers, but this is a very satisfying mountain to climb and it has all the attributes you would expect of one of the more rugged and picturesque mountains in Scotland. A GPS File is available for download (see walk description).
