Tourist complains Ben Nevis has no toilets or shop and is 'too steep'

A tourist has written an online review slamming Ben Nevis as "far too steep".

The mountain - the highest in the British Isles - located at the foot of Fort William in the Highlands, has a summit of 4,411 feet above sea level with more than 100,000 visitors every year.

A hugely popular sight for hikers and climbers, there was one visitor that was apparently less than impressed by the Munro.

In a one-star review on travel website TripAdvisor, they complained that the mountain was "too steep" and criticised the lack of shops or toilets en route to the summit, the Daily Record reports.

In a post on June 14, they wrote: "This is far too steep! The paths are uneven and could do with resurfacing and being levelled out.

"There are no toilets or shops on the route to/from the summit so nowhere to get a sandwich or some pop. There was also snow on the summit when we got there and it was very slippery with no signs of any grit bins!

"It’s only a matter of time before someone has an accident up there."

However, with an average rating of 4.5 out of five on the site, it's safe to say this person is in the minority with most visitors delighted with Ben Nevis.

One recent five-star review reads: "Absolutely amazing day, very difficult climb but you just have to keep pushing! The visitor centre at the bottom is great for an ice cream!
