Meets Calendar

If you haven’t stayed there before, the CIC Hut is a superbly comfortable base located right at the foot of the North Face of Ben Nevis, offering instant access to climbs and walks. May is a particularly special time to visit — alpine-like conditions, longer days, and, importantly, no midges!

Here are a few reasons to join us:

• Better weather: Spring (March–May) brings improving conditions and longer daylight hours, making it an ideal time to get back into hiking and climbing.
• Perfect location: The hut’s position gives direct access to the classic routes on Ben Nevis’s North Face — an unmatched advantage for climbers.
• Flexible itinerary: With longer days, you can plan your activity to suit the weather and your preferences.
• Ideal balance: May offers a mix of lingering snow for mountaineering and generally more stable weather than in winter.
• Comfort and facilities: The hut is well equipped, with a full kitchen, gas heating, a drying room, and power outlets for low-power devices — perfect for drying out and relaxing after a long day.
• Fewer crowds: Visiting before the summer peak means it’s quieter and a more peaceful experience.
• Spectacular setting: The views of the North Face cliffs are breathtaking, especially on clear nights — a truly magical sight.

Cost: £26 per night
