Beinn Dubh
A magnificent hike offering stunning views of Loch Lomond and panoramic vistas from the summit. This hike is not suitable for beginners due to the long and steep climb. There is no shade along the route. Be sure to wear sturdy footwear as the summit is muddy in places and rocky in others.

This 3rd section of the West Highland Way (WHW) goal is to walk up to Loch Lomond. You start by increasingly going up a beautiful forest, where you can spot incredible views of the loch. On the way, go past waterfalls coming from Ben Lomond. As soon as you get back along the lochside, follow it for quite a while, along paths going up and down and in between rocks. A brief climb between two beautiful hills and one way downhill towards Inverarnan to finish this stage.

Circular walk to Ben Lomond summit. The first part to Ben Lomond summit is very touristic but the section going down is less as most people go up and down Ben Lomond using the same path. View over Loch Lomond is incredible.

Conic Hill (361 m) forms part of the popular West Highland Way and as such is a busy little peak! The path is very well used, so navigation is easy, with a little scrambling over scree necessary close to the top. This is the perfect hill for a beginner or for a day when you only have a few hours to spare. The views are spectacular all the way!

This part of The Three Lochs Way is much flatter than the first half and definitely the easier of the two days. It passes through the pretty town of Helensburgh. Despite the walk’s name, you leave the lochs behind for much of the way, meeting back up with Loch Lomond in the final stages. This is The Three Lochs Way Day 2.
