. Nonetheless the views over Lochan an cat were beautiful and the thought of moving on towards An Stuc crossed my mind. But since clouds also started to roll in I decided to make a beeline back across Beinn Ghlas towards the visitor center. This was a very enjoyable walk - not really dcemanding at all since the starting point is already quite high up. Round trip across the two munros took me about 4 hours. Highly recommendable!
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.

This offered great views from the north-west flank of Beinn Ghlas and my impression was that this path is much nicer. Seems less eroded compared with the path to the summit of Beinn Ghlas which I took on my way down. Conditions were really nice on that day - blue skies and sunshine with only a light breeze. Once up on the summit of Ben Lawers it was difficult to remain upright, though, since the breeze had turned into something more substantial .
