Ochils Hut

Accommodation: Ochils Hut, Crianlarich (Inverardran Cottage). This is the whitewashed building situated at the east end of Crianlarich, next to the Ben More Restaurant. (O. S. sheet 50, Grid Ref 392250) on the north side of the A85. The cottage has its own extensive parking area behind the building.

Address: Inverardran Cottage, Crianlarich, FK20 8RU

Cost: £8.50 pppn

Facilities: The Cottage can accommodate 18 people in two dormitories with mattresses on alpine style bunks, but you will need to bring your own sleeping bags. Separate male and female toilets – both with a shower. Fully equipped kitchen. There is also a small drying facility for wet gear. Over the past three years, the cottage has been extensively upgraded to make it perhaps the best-appointed mountaineering club hut in Scotland. Pub next door!

The Hills: Several Munros and Corbetts can be reached by walking from the cottage: Cruach Ardrain, Ben More, Stob Binnein, Ben Challum, Meall Glas, and Sgiath Chuil.
For those with transport, all of the Arrochar, Ben Lawers, Tyndrum and Bridge of Orchy hills are within 30 minutes drive, with Glens Coe and Etive only marginally further.

The West Highland Way passes through Crianlarich for low level walks.  For rock climbing try Glen Coe and Glen Etive, or even The Cobbler is not too far.
