Aonach Mòr, Mountain summit in Highland, Scotland.
Aonach Mòr rises to 1221 meters above sea level, featuring steep cliffs on its eastern face and a broad ridge connecting to Aonach Beag.
The mountain became a significant recreational destination in 1989 when the Nevis Range ski area established operations on its northern and eastern slopes.
The name Aonach Mòr derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning big ridge, reflecting the traditional language preserved in Highland mountain nomenclature.
The Nevis Range gondola system transports visitors to 650 meters elevation, reducing the walking distance required to reach the mountain summit.
The mountain contains one of Scotland's most enduring snow patches in Coire an Lochain, which often remains until late summer at 1120 meters elevation.
