A Scottish mountain over 3,000 feet in height is referred to as a Munro. Here are 10 Munros that novice hikers can complete.
1. Ben Lomond
Ben Lomond is one of the most well-liked Munro walks in Scotland, and it’s easy to see why. It’s only 90 minutes from Glasgow, has a clear trail that leads directly to the summit, and offers breathtaking views of Loch Lomond.
2. Schiehallion
Schiehallion, a pyramid-shaped hill in Perthshire, offers a gentle ascent ideal for individuals looking to improve their fitness, as well as stunning views of Loch Rannoch.
3. Ben Chonzie
One of the quickest Munros to climb, Ben Chonzie, is situated to the north of Crieff and has a well-traveled path that can be completed in about four hours.
4. Ben Hope
Another Munro that can be conquered in about four hours while taking in breathtaking coastal vistas is Scotland’s most northerly Munro, which towers over the village of Tongue.
5. Ben Vorlich
Ben Vorlich, which is located in the lovely Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, is excellent for beginners because of its simple ascent and views of Lake Earn. If you still have the stamina thereafter, you can climb the neighboring Stuc a’ Chroin for a second Munro.
6. Cairn Gorm
The top of Cairn Gorm, at 4,084 feet, is surrounded by the magnificence of the Cairngorms National Park, but you have a sneaky head start because the parking lot is also rather high up.
7. Mount Keen
Mount Keen, another mountain in the Cairngorms National Park, is the most easterly Munro and has an easy ascent for novice climbers.
8. Ben Wyvis
Ben Wyvis, located north of Inverness, is a fantastic first Munro because of its simple ascent and breathtaking Highland views.
9. Cairnwell
The peak of Cairnwell, one of Scotland’s most accessible Munros, serves as a breathtaking background to the Glenshee Ski Center. For the daring, a climb of Cairnwell can be combined with neighboring peaks Carn Aosda and Carn a’Gheoidh for a triple Munro haul.
10. Geal Charn
Geal Charn, located at the westernmost tip of the Monadh mountain range, offers gently sloping slopes covered with grass for a relaxing climb.
