Description
A varied gateway to the Scottish Highlands.
Loch Lomond and the Trossachs combine expansive lochs with forested glens and mountains rising directly from the water. Katie Featherstone’s guide offers a wide selection of experiences within the national park. You can alternate between lower-level walks and more demanding summit days without changing your destination.
43 walks, encompassing all the area’s Munro summits.
The book describes both popular classics and less frequented routes. The 21 Munro summits are included in the selection, alongside lower mountains such as The Cobbler, Ben Venue, and Conic Hill. Route descriptions, maps, and difficulty information assist you in assessing whether a walk suits your experience and available time.
Choose your base by the loch or in the glens.
Balmaha, Rowardennan, Luss, Arrochar, Callander, and Tyndrum provide access to different parts of the area. The guide offers practical walking information and background on the landscape, nature, and history. This makes it useful for both short stays and for those wishing to spend several days exploring the national park more thoroughly.
Who is this book suitable for?
The selection caters to various experience levels, from forest and lochside walks to challenging mountain terrain without clear paths. Mountain routes are generally most accessible from April to October, while lower-level walks can offer pleasant experiences year-round. The higher summits must be assessed based on weather, visibility, and potential winter conditions.
A long tradition of walking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wished to share their thorough knowledge of routes – a tradition that continues to shape these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
