Awesome climb, well signposted and easy to follow, spectacular scenery, it was one of the best mountains for beautiful views. Plenty of parking at the beginning, £3 for all day.
This place is magical. Make sure to bring some layers and a raincoat with you. Even when it’s nice by the lake (yes, it happens), it can get really cold up the mountain. Also put some waterproof spray on your shoes. I forgot to do it and regretted it soon enough.
The parking is spacious so you don’t have to worry about it but I still recommend coming early in the morning. It is truly a special atmosphere there when you are alone.
10th highest hill in Scotland. From the carpark, not as demanding as the other 9. And it comes with a fantastic panoramic view. The trail is being upgraded too!
Six hours to hike up this plus two munroes closeby. Low cloud meant the views weren't what they could have been but nevertheless breathtaking scenery and a fantastic day out.
Wonderful mountain, the 10th highest Munro in Scotland, usually climbed together with ( via ) another Munro Beinn Ghlas. The altitude is high, but also the start point which makes faster progress to reach the top in a short distance. There is mostly more snow compare to the other areas because of the altitude and you can spot a wildlife often. Nice, well sized car park £3 per staying, but maybe full in summer - holidays time as the mountain is popular and accessible - not far from Central Belt.
Decent walk through a nature trail after a £3 parking place then you have 2 routes up. One on the left which is shallow then a big climb or the right which takes you up a smaller munro first then a few false peaks to ben Lawers. Try and go on a nice day
After a long break from hiking (almost half year), I decided to start the 2022 season with Ben Lawers. It was a quiet easy walk with beautiful views. The car park is big, and you need to pay for it £3 at this moment
There are good instructions at the car park, we payed by phone (£5 instead of £3, that you need to have in cash), but it was well worth it. There are routes for all abilities and what a view from the top, we went up on a clear day and it was exactly the breath of crisp, fresh air we needed.
