One of the shapeliest Munros in the southern Highlands, a pointed peak with a deep snow-holding corrie on its north-east face

Ben Lui is the standout among the hills west of Crianlarich, a sharp peak of 1,131m that rises to a fine point above a deep bowl of a corrie — a coire, or hollow, scooped into its north-east face. It’s a Munro, a Scottish hill over 3,000 feet, and that corrie holds snow late into the year, drawing climbers to its gully lines in winter. The little burn that starts on its flanks is one of the sources of the River Tay. Most people walk in from Tyndrum up the Cononish glen, and fit parties link Ben Lui with its neighbours Beinn a’ Chleibh and Ben Oss for a big day in the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs hills. The upper slopes are steep and the corrie rim needs care in cloud or snow.
