스털링 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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

The more shapely of the pair.

It is a relentless slog to get here, but the views make it worthwhile.

Fine hill with superb views to the north.

Balmaha at 19 miles (30.5 km) is the first official checkpoint on the West Highland Way race. On the shore of Loch Lomond, it's accessible by road or ferry. There is a visitor centre, cafés and restaurants. Good spot to run Conic Hill if you aren't running the whole WHW. There is a statue of Tom Weir, staring across the loch. Tom was a lifelong lover of Scotland as well as a writer, broadcaster and climber.

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..

At the base of Ben Lomond and many other walks Balmaha is a beautiful village. The rangers in the visitors centre are very helpful, for West Highland Way walkers I’d recommend popping in for a map with the restricted camping areas on it.

Nice little 1hr walk, bit steep in places but rewarded with waterfalls and lovely views across the loch.
