Centre Car Park, cost £3 per day in 2021, pay
by Coins. That is Ben Vorlich with the Hydro
Pipes going up it. Going up that way is said to
be Horrendous.
The Way to the Ben Vorlich Main Trail is to
follow the Roadside Path along past the Hydro
Eclectic Power Station towards a Railway
Bridge.
Go up the Hill Road under the Railway Bridge
with the Hill Road taking you round the back of
Ben Vorlich to Loch Sloy Dam, about 1 mile
steady uphill.
Just before the Dam, you will see a Man Made
Path leading up to the Summit of Ben Vorlich,
think this path was laid around 2015?
The start of the Path is about 600ft above
Sea Level, so about 2,400ft / 730m of fairly
steep Hiking to the Summit.
On the Path up Ben Vorlich, you get great
views over to Loch Sloy Dam. Large Image
Above the Man Made Path, it is a fairly good
Trail all the way to the Summit, up then over
to a Pinnacle.
The Pinnacle is the Steepest Section, steep
but safe.
Once above the Pinnacle, you will see two
other Pinnacles, the Trail goes round both of
these. I am sure you could Scramble over both
if looking for a tougher Hike.
Once round the two Pinnacles, you reach the
Summit section, a short steep final Hike.
The Summit has 3 Tops, the one in the Middle
is the Highest.
