ローモンド湖とトロサックスのおすすめランニングルート

Excellent winter route - when it isn't so muddy!

Nice to look at from a distance, but rather a sad sight up close

Started 8:15 at the top for 10:45, took our time ! good path to the top , continued on pitarmigan pathto decend, took a little longer on the way back down but worth it as views were amazing..

A small, pretty castle in the park. The building cannot be visited from the inside, but is very photogenic from the outside.

Fast but short-lived downhill

At 974 meters high, it offers breathtaking views over Loch Lomond and the Scottish Highlands from its summit, which serves as a reward for the climb. The walk begins in Rowardennan, an idyllic spot on the east bank of Loch Lomond. From here there are two main routes to the summit: the more direct and popular route, suitable for beginners and experienced hikers alike, and the slightly more demanding Ptarmigan Ridge, recommended for those seeking a greater challenge. Both trails offer unique perspectives of the mountain and its surroundings, and the ability to combine both for a circular hike makes the experience even more worthwhile. Despite its popularity - over 30,000 people attempt the climb each year - Ben Lomond retains a wild beauty so treasured by the Scottish mountains. The views from the summit are scenically breathtaking, with a panorama taking in the loch islands and the vast Highlands. On a clear day the view can sweep far over the surrounding countryside, and the contrast between the calm waters of the loch and the rugged peaks of the Highlands is a sight unlike any other. While the walk is popular, it is important to note the local regulations of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and prepare accordingly. Good footwear, sufficient water and provisions as well as protective clothing against changeable weather are essential. Respect for nature and the responsibility to leave no trace help ensure that Ben Lomond remains an unforgettable hiking destination for future generations.

To have a quiet and peaceful ascent, hike up Ben Lomond via the Ptarmigan Route. A comfortable path with a few quite narrow segments. Make it a loop by returning via the 'tourist path'.

Ben Lomond is a superb mountain offering excellent views across Loch Lomond and the rugged mountains beyond, as well as southwards towards the lowlands. The paths are substantial and well maintained, making for fast walking, but don't expect to be alone here - its justifiably very popular. The circuit up the Ptarmigan ridge and down the main path is recommended
