Ben Lomond Guided Ascent
A guided day up the most southerly Munro — the perfect first big hill with expert support.
About this trip
Ben Lomond is the classic introduction to Munro-bagging: a clear path, a fine ridge and a summit view down the length of Loch Lomond. On this guided day, a mountain leader looks after navigation, pacing and safety so you can focus on the climb and learn the ropes for future hills.
Transport from Glasgow, safety equipment and on-the-hill coaching are included. It suits anyone with reasonable fitness who wants to bag their first Munro in good company and confidence.
