Ben Vorlich (Scottish Gaelic:Beinn Mhùrlaig)[2] is a mountain in the SouthernHighlands ofScotland. It lies south ofLoch Earn and Ardvorlich, and a short distance north of the neighbouring mountainStùc a' Chroin. Ben Vorlich reaches a height of 985 metres (3,232 ft), making it aMunro.
Due to its prominence when seen from the lower ground of theCentral Belt, Ben Vorlich is one of the most commonly seen of Munros, Scotland's peaks of at least 3,000 ft (914.4 m) elevation. It lies in an area of land bounded to the north by Loch Earn and to the west byLoch Lubnaig. The town ofCallander lies to the south.
Ben Vorlich is most frequently climbed from Ardvorlich to the north. A path leads up Glen Vorlich, and then heads for the mountain's northern ridge. The summit lies 4 km from Ardvorlich. Many walkers then continue on to the neighbouring mountain,Stùc a' Chroin, by way of Ben Vorlich's south west ridge. Return to Ardvorlich can be made without re-ascending Ben Vorlich, as a path leads from thebealach between the two hills round Ben Vorlich's northwestern slope to meet the main ascent path. Other possible routes from the southern side allow one to ascend Ben Vorlich by way of its southeastern ridge. This can be accessed either from Glen Artney to the southeast or Callander to the south.
