グランピアン山脈の天然記念物・トップ20

A big hill, but easy to climb.

The climb is worth it (sturdy shoes are helpful and hiking poles are quite comfortable for the descent) and you will be rewarded with a magnificent panorama!

The climb is worth it: wonderful panoramic views of the Cairngorms and various lochs such as Loch Morlich and Loch an Uaine.

Rough and beautiful, this vastness is impressive... 😊

A 360° view from the peak, best view across all of the Cairngorms. Steep hike across uneven rocks and rubble path, but so worth it on a good day.

The top of Scotland's 10th highest Munro. It is no mean feat getting your bike to the top. Expert MTB skills are required for the descent to the Bealach. If it goes wrong the consequences are high, make sensible decisions and walk you bike if you are unsure.

Fast but short-lived downhill

Thanks to the Ben Lawers car park, which is already at almost 500 meters altitude, the climb to this impressive peak is within reach of many hikers. From here, various hiking options open up: you can choose to climb Ben Lawers as a standalone goal, or take on the challenge and plan a ridge crossing that can cover up to seven Munros in a day. However, such an undertaking requires good planning, perseverance and ideally a second vehicle at the end of the hike. The landscape around Ben Lawers is known for its exceptional beauty. Views from the top extend well beyond Loch Tay and, on clear days, include much of the Southern Highlands. The region is also a paradise for nature lovers, with a rich variety of plant species, some of which can only be found here, and lively wildlife. For those who prefer a less demanding route, the route from Ben Lawers car park offers a relatively easy way to reach this impressive peak. The walk offers spectacular views and is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the majestic beauty of the Scottish mountains. Regardless of the route chosen, hikers should always keep an eye on weather conditions and prepare appropriately. Good footwear, waterproof clothing and navigation aids are essential. It is equally important to respect local regulations for Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and treat nature with respect.
