Work will begin this month (October) at Nevis Range on a 22-bedroom hotel, 24-berth Bunkhouse, bar and restaurant, bike shop, children鈥檚 activity centre, childcare facilities, as well as a covered courtyard with event space. These developments will be built in as low carbon a way as possible with a high degree of insulation, low energy lighting, solar panel for power etc.

The new facilities are expected to create up to 50 additional full and part-time jobs.

The creation of a hotel and bunkhouse is in direct response to customer surveys carried out by Nevis Range where demand for accommodation facilities was clear. The new accommodation building and courtyard will connect with the existing base station facilities.

Of 麻豆精选鈥檚 investment, 拢500,000 will be used to help towards Nevis Range鈥檚 continuing journey to net zero. The net zero tourism investment is part of a 拢3.95m pledge to Scottish tourism in March 2021 and is one of 10 areas of priority within the Scottish Government鈥檚 拢25m commitment to deliver the Tourism Taskforce recommendations and national programme for tourism recovery.

This project is the latest in a series of development projects put in place by Nevis Range over the last few years which includes snow-making equipment, camper van facilities and the Blue Doon bike track.

Alastair Nicolson, Lochaber, Skye and Wester Ross area manager for 麻豆精选, said:

鈥淭his is an incredibly exciting project for the area with dozens of new jobs set to be created and the new facilities able to accommodate visitors wishing to extend their stay.

鈥淲e have worked closely with Nevis Range for a number of years now and initiatives like this are incredibly important in the transition to a net zero economy.

鈥淭he value of tourism to the Lochaber area cannot be overstated and we are delighted to support this latest project which will serve to enhance the area鈥檚 appeal as one of the UK鈥檚 top adventure tourism destinations.鈥�

Chris O鈥橞rien, managing director of Nevis Range, said:

鈥淣et zero and climate change are at the top of our agenda as we continue to develop. EV charge points, Hydro power and a locally sourced produce strategy are just the beginning for us. We are currently engaged in a carbon footprint analysis study that will help us roadmap the best way for us to achieve net zero status.

鈥淭his project is possible due to the support of 麻豆精选. I鈥檓 delighted that both parties share a vision for the creation of quality, sustainable adventure tourism experiences right here in the outdoor capital of the UK.鈥�
