A shorter hill walk above Luss on the west bank of Loch Lomond, with great views up the loch and over to Ben Lomond on the other side.

We'll head uphill from Luss, taking our time to look back and admire the views of the islands dotting Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond on the other side. We can return the way we come or do a horseshoe and return a different way, depending on time.

Key information:

• Start/finish: Luss car park (parking charge applies); accessible by bus from Glasgow (Citylink buses).
• Duration: 4-5 hours 
  
• Ascent: 700m
• Distance: 11km/7 miles
• Terrain: grassy hill paths, some steep sections, some boggy sections, some uneven paths

What to expect:

This walk is suitable for people who are happy to be walking for up to 5 hours at a gentle pace.  There are some steep grassy sections and uneven paths. No experience of hill walking is needed.

These slower guided walks are for those who like to stop, take in the view, catch their breath, and take extra time on trickier terrain. They’re for those who worry about holding others back, for those who love being outdoors but who worry they aren’t fast or fit enough. They’re for women of all shapes, sizes and ages who simply want to get out hill walking.

If you're not sure if this walk is for you, please get in touch.
