Nevis Range is a ski area in Scotland. The Nevis Range resort is located near Fort William. From here, the high slopes are easily accessible by gondola. There is a wide choice of ski runs, from beginner to advanced. Fort William is located on a hill and is a good base for exploring the surrounding area.

The Nevis Range gondola is the only one of its kind in Britain, reaching an elevation of 650 m. It was built on the northern slope of Aonakh-Mora, the eighth-highest mountain in Britain, originally to carry skiers to the slopes. The mountain gondola has become a remarkable attraction for visitors, offering scenic rides, stunning views and clean mountain air. It is also widely used as a shortcut for mountaineers tackling the many challenging winter climbing routes on Aonakh-Mur, and by hill walkers accessing the summer routes.
