Overview

Ben Donich is one of the many fine mountains that make up the 'Arrochar Alps', to the west of Loch Lomond, on the way to Inveraray. This Corbett is very accessible from the main road and makes a fine, shortish hillwalk with tremendous views.There is a well-trodden path most of the way but there is some rocky ground with one short easy scramble.
