5.0

(16)

Often overshadowed by Ben Lui, its illustrious neighbour, hikes to Ben Oss are not to be outdone. These are magnificent adventures to a towering Munro summit that arguably boasts even more sensational views than those from Lui. Plus, there’s no reason not to ascend both in one epic outing for a day that will embed itself in your memory for many years.

Hiking

Ben Oss is a broad, 3,376-foot (1,029 m) Munro that very much plays second fiddle to neighbouring Ben Lui. However, the view from the summit is awe-inspiring, both back towards Ben Lui and south along Loch Lomond. It is usually ascended along with Beinn Dubhchraig to the east.

Hiking

Fine views over to Ben Lui. A fairly straight forward ascent to here from Beinn Dubhcraig.

Mountaineering

The Ben Oss (also Beinn Oss) is a 1,029 m (3,376 ft) high mountain in Scotland. Its Gaelic name is interpreted differently, one assumption is the translation as mountain at the lake outflow or mountain at the outflow of the lake. More likely, however, is the mountain of the elk. Elk were wiped out in Scotland as early as 1300. The mountain is located in the southern highlands between the towns of Crianlarich and Dalmally in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park and is classified as Munro. (Source: Wikipedia)
