About Ben Lui
The walk up Ben Lui is properly steep and takes the better part of a day, but the cone-shaped summit and the hanging corrie on the south side make it one of Scotland's most distinctive peaks. You're looking at around four hours up and back from the car park near Tyndrum, depending on fitness. The path starts gentle enough but gets serious as you climb higher - expect loose scree and scrambling near the top. Clear days reward you with views across the Trossachs towards Ben Vorlich, though I'd be honest: the weather has to cooperate or it's just mist and sore knees.
Walkers and hillwalkers will get the most from this one. It's not a casual stroll with the family, though confident older kids with decent boots can manage it. The route is unmarked in places and you'll need proper mountain sense - this isn't a tourist honeypot. Summer or early autumn are your best bets, when the scree is drier and daylight is generous.
There's no charge to climb it, naturally. Park up near Dalrigh and start early to avoid the afternoon clouds that roll in from the west. If you're basing yourself at Tyndrum Holiday Park or Beinglas Campsite, Ben Lui makes a proper day out that justifies the drive north from Stirling. The neighbouring peaks - Ben Oss and Beinn Dubhchraig - are close enough to combine if you're keen and have the legs for it. Worth the effort if mountains are your thing.
