Beinn Dubh Walk

4.04 miles (6.5 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap This is a lovely walk to try if you are visiting the pretty Luss Village in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The short climb gives fabulous views over the surrounding area.
The walk starts in Luss at the car park and visitor centre. You then follow a footpath out of the village through some woodland before climbing Beinn Dubh on a nice grassy path. There are simply wonderful views of Loch Lomond, Glen Luss and the Arrochar Alps to enjoy. You can return the same way or continue to Mid Hill along the Glen Striddle Horseshoe.

Southeast ridge, Beinn Dubh. View down the ridge to Loch Lomond and Inchlonaig. As is common in the area, some slopes have failed at the end of the iceage, and there are numerous lanslip features on the ridge, such as the small crag here.

Path view. This relatively well trodden path begins in Luss and quickly ascends to the eastern top of Beinn Dubh, just hidden beyond the false summit shown here.
