Overview
Ben More and it’s neighbourghing munro Stob Binnein are two of the most popular munros in the southern highlands.
They are typically climbed together, however, be prepared for the closest thing to a stairmaster workout you’ll find in the Scottish mountains with Ben More. It is famously a relentless climb, coupled with the fact it comes in at 1174m, it’s a fairly tough one.
The views from the top are worth it though, with the Arrochar Alps, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs all visible on a clear day.
Starting Point
The hike starts from the car park at Ben More Farm, which is well signposted and easy to find. As with many southern munros close to Glasgow and Edinburgh, it can get very busy on the weekends so it’s best to get there early to secure a spot.
