Climb Scotland's most southerly Munro with stunning views of Loch Lomond and the Highlands, just an hour from Glasgow.

Ben Lomond is a 974-metre mountain situated on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond in the Scottish Highlands, offering one of Scotland's most accessible and popular hill-walks. As the most southerly Munro (mountain over 3,000ft), it attracts approximately 30,000 visitors annually who tackle its well-maintained routes. The mountain lies within the Ben Lomond National Memorial Park and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, managed by the National Trust for Scotland. The main ascent follows the renowned 'tourist path' from Rowardennan, a wide and relatively easy route that climbs the gentle Sròn Aonaich ridge before steeper sections lead to the summit. On clear days, the panoramic views are exceptional—the summit is visible from Glasgow and can even be seen from Ben Nevis, over 40 miles away. The mountain's accessibility from central Scotland, combined with the relative ease of ascent compared to other Munros, makes it an ideal introduction to Scottish mountain hiking. Ben Lomond is suitable for families with older children and teenagers seeking an outdoor adventure. Car parking is available at the base near Rowardennan, and the West Highland Way long-distance path runs along the mountain's western base. The venue offers free entry and welcomes dogs, making it perfect for families looking to experience the Scottish Highlands' natural beauty and achieve a significant hill-walking milestone.
