Fort William Mountain Festival

Each year, Festival audiences are treated to a range of inspiring presentations, adrenaline filled and thought provoking world class films, access to information stands and outdoor products in the exhibition zone, cultural, creative and outdoor training opportunities, workshops and masterclasses as well as indoor and outdoor activities.

The Festival celebrates the mountains and the outdoor lifestyle that surrounds us and is held annually. It promotes the understanding and appreciation of the world’s mountain places and mountain communities such as here in Lochaber, the Outdoor Capital of the UK. It creates opportunities for people to share and find inspiration in mountain experiences, ideas and visions.

The Festival attract speakers both nationally and internationally and the audience is just as diverse. With bike, climbing, water sports, running & snow sports nights the festival really does have something for most people with a love of the outdoors.

Taking place each February in and around the town of Fort William, the Festival attracts approaching 1500 people over the 5 days.
