Munros for beginners

Although Ben A’an is not a high mountain, its position at the heart of the Trossachs makes it a truly wonderful viewpoint. The hill provides an easy walk suitable for families with young children, however, the final ascent to the summit can be more demanding. This is a popular walk and the path will be busy most weekends.

Ben Lomond is one of the most popular Munros, rewarding the 30,000 people who make it to the top with truly fantastic views of the length of Loch Lomond and its islands. The view to the north reveals range beyond range of mountains into the Highlands. The path up is well made, but the optional return down the Ptarmigan ridge is steep and rocky, and muddy lower down.

Rising out of the lush greenery of the National Park, Ben Vorlich and its neighbouring Munro, Stuc a' Chroin, dominate the landscape around them. Ben Vorlich is a very popular hillwalk from Loch Earn and a fine viewpoint.

One of Scotland's best known hills, Schiehallion is one of the easiest Munros to climb on a fine summers day. It takes the form of a broad ridge, with the famous conical appearance only apparent from across Loch Rannoch.
