ICE FACTOR: THE NATIONAL CENTRE FOR ICE CLIMBING AND THE UK’S
PREMIER MOUNTAIN ACTIVITY CENTRE
One of Scotland’s busiest adventure sport tourist attractions,
the highlight for visitors is it’s 15metre high indoor ice wall.
Encrusted with over 500 tonnes of snow and neve that replicates
outdoor ice-climbing conditions, beginners and experts alike can
experience 1400m2 of varying ice climbing routes- from easier
angled snow slopes to monster overhangs.
Home of the Biggest Indoor Ice Climbing arena in the
World! and with an average of 130,000 annual visitors, we’ve
probably introduced more people to the thrill of ice climbing than
anywhere on the planet.
Little wonder Ice Factor ranks amongst the Top 5 visitor
attractions in the Highlands of Scotland (source: Visit
Scotland Tourism Monitor 2007) and is now a must visit attraction
for any visitor to the picturesque West Highlands.
At Ice Factor our vision and daily mission is to make adventure
sports universally accessible and fun you may say the
democratization of adventure! So, part of our giant indoor (partly
frozen) toy box includes the world’s biggest indoor ice climbing
wall, the UK’s highest/articulated overhanging rock climbing wall
and a world class dedicated teaching and instruction
facility.
Today, we are one of the biggest Outdoor Mountaineering Course
Providers in the UK.
