Arrochar Alps, south Highlands
Experience Scotland’s rival to Europe’s most famous mountain range by climbing four Munros and one iconic Corbett in the Arrochar Alps.
They might not have the towering height, permanent snows and majestic glaciers of their European namesakes, but the Arrochar Alps are worthy of the name. Complex, steep and dramatic, with distinctive profiles, this compact group of peaks in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park are rightly popular.
It is possible to bag the range’s four Munros in a rather ridiculously arduous day walk, but why rush? This ultimate weekender takes things slower, bagging the Munro foursome – Ben Vorlich, Ben Vane, Beinn Narnain and Beinn
Ime – over three walks. This gives you time to also include The Cobbler, one of Scotland’s most iconic Corbetts; a weirdly-shaped mountain with a rugged, rocky summit known for its nervejangling scrambling.
