About Ben Vorlich
Ben Vorlich reaches 985m (3,232ft) above the south shore of Loch Earn, a prominent peak seen from the loch and from the Perthshire lowlands. Its long north ridge rises from the loch, and Stuc a' Chroin lies 1.9km to the south-west across a col. It is a Munro and a Marilyn.
The usual route starts at Ardvorlich on the south Loch Earn road. A track and then a path climb Glen Vorlich onto the north ridge, which leads to the summit trig point. Many walkers continue to Stuc a' Chroin by dropping to the Bealach an Dubh Choirein and climbing the rocky buttress on its north-east side, which needs some scrambling. A path skirts the buttress to the west for walkers who want to avoid it.
The summit gives a wide view over Loch Earn and the Southern Highlands.
