The two summits of Beinn Eunaich and Beinn a' Chochuill are connected by a long ridge - meaning plenty of time up among the clouds. A traverse of both peaks makes a rewarding trip from Lochawe. It's a good part of the country for walking, too - Ben Cruachan is one stop along the line. Loch Awe Station is just outside the village of Lochawe, on the northern side of Loch Awe (so easy to find!). Trains running between Oban and Glasgow stop there, and there are a few bus services too
