The highlands eponymously contains the country's main mountain ranges, but hills and mountains are to be found south of these as well. The below lists are not exhaustive; there are countless subranges throughout the country. Ben Nevis (Beinn Nibheis), the highest mountain in Scotland and the United Kingdom at 1,344.527 metres (4,411.18 ft), is in the Highland region at the western end of the Grampian Mountains. A Scottish mountain over 914.4 metres (3,000 ft) is referred to as a Munro, of which there are 282. As of 2019, hundreds of thousands of people visit mountains in Scotland every winter and about 130,000 climb to the summit of Ben Nevis every year.
