Connected by the West Highland Railway, consistently voted one of the best railway journeys in the world, Ardlui is a favoured stop for walkers and hikers. A route next to the station takes skilled walkers up Ben Vorlich.
A ferry departs from the pier to the other side of Loch Lomond to link up with the West Highland Way, a popular walking route between Milngavie and Fort William which runs along the loch’s eastern shoreline.
