Ben Lawers - the tenth highest Munro - is the culminating point of the sprawling range of mountains on the north side of Loch Tay. Its great height is undermined by a high level car park to begin the ascent, and this is one of the most popular hills in Scotland. A second Munro - Beinn Ghlas - is crossed en-route and is barely noticed by many.

Terrain

Clear path to summit but remember this walk is at a high level and is very exposed to bad weather.

Public Transport

No public transport to the start.

Start

Ben Lawers car park (charge). Open start point in Google Maps for directions.
