Just off the A82, north of Forrt William, is Nevis Range. This tourism destination features Scotland 's only mountain gondola, which transports visitors from the car park to the north face of Aonach Mor (2150 feet) in less than 15 minutes. Each gondola can accommodate up to six people inside. The journey allows breathtaking views of the Highlands, including Ben Nevis, and surrounding areas. On a clear day this spectacular view can extend as far as the Inner Hebrides. There is dining (Snowgoose Mountain Restaurant) at the top and the attraction isn't only popular in the winter for mountain sports, but also in the summer for those wanting to take in the heights of stunning Lochaber without having to track up a trail. Their standard opening hours are 10AM-4PM, and hours are typically extended during July and August (listed as 9:30AM-6PM) but it is best to check in advance.
