General presentation
Loch Lomond et Trossachs
Lakes, low mountains, forests and villages accessible from Glasgow for a first Scottish nature experience.
The discovery of Loch Lomond and Trossachs revolves around Loch Lomond, Ben Lomond and The Trossachs. The stay thus alternates between the shores and the lakes, the mountain reliefs, the forests and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: midgies possible in summer and parkings requested in good weather. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lake
Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond A simple walk along the water may be enough, but active travellers will easily find something to walk longer.
Summit
Ben Lomond
Ben Lomond offers a straight ascent above the loch, with a sustained path and views that widen as the slopes rise. The hike requires correct weather, equipment and time, but it gives one of the most clear readings of the Trossachs landscape.
Lake and forest
Loch Katrine et les Trossachs
Loch Katrine and the Trossachs make up a more intimate landscape than the great panoramas of the Highlands, between dark water, forests and rounded reliefs. A walk, a bike ride or a gentle cruise allow you to catch the rhythm without looking for the exploit.
