Despite being one of the highest Munros, Ben Lawers is often done at the beginning of people’s Munro bagging journeys along with its neighbour Beinn Ghlas as these two make for a relatively easy day out. This simplicity is in part because, navigationally, they have big tracks meaning less reliance on solid navigation skills. With the car park sitting just under 400m high on the pass over to Glen Lyon, giving a head start on the walk, this is also a factor for the popularity amongst first time or early Munro baggers. If you’re feeling a bit fitter, however, it is also done as part of the Lawers 5 and the Lawers 7 (blog from our winter traverse of the Lawers 7). As the names suggest these routes include 5 and 7 Munros in their rounds. Both of these require some planning regarding logistics as they tend to be a two-car job to avoid a potentially very long walk back along the road. Alternatively, hitch hiking back to your car is another option.Fitness:
