Hiking

The culminating point of a sprawling mountain range to the north of Loch Tay, Ben Lawers is a very popular mountain – and with good reason. Celebrated flora and fauna, top-of-the-beanstalk views, a conveniently high car park at almost (1,600 feet) 500m, and a glorious multi-Munro ridge traverse are just a few of its appealing features.

Hiking

An excellent viewpoint. Easiest ascent from the Ben Lawers car park, which reduces the ascent required. For those looking for an epic, you can do up to 7 Munros in a day along the ridge. A shorter 5 option is also possible. A second car at the hotel is recommended for this.
