Ben Nevis is the UK's highest peak and has a complex terrain, attracting many tourists every year. In winter, extreme weather conditions lead to large numbers of accidents. On the one hand, the question of how to provide a safe and fun experience for visitors has become a worthwhile one. On the other hand, visitors boost the local economy and at the same time place ecological pressure on Ben Nevis. The question of how to balance nature and tourism is therefore worth exploring.

The climate emergency has had a range of irreversible effects on Ben Nevis, such as reduced snowfall, reduced snowpack, shorter snow periods, etc. Unpredictable and rapid changes in temperature also leads to natural disasters such as avalanches and landslides. This puts nature, its inhabitants and visitors at risk.

This project responds to these environmental issues and is dedicated to exploring how a landscape approach can ensure the safety of visitors and enhance their experience in extreme environments. At the same time, the project explores the dynamic changes and boundaries between the natural and the unnatural.
