In comparison with the neighboring Ben More , which is only separated by the saddle Bealach Eadar da-Bheinn , which is about 300 meters lower and towering as a mighty grassy pyramid above the Glen Dochart , the Stob Binnein with its slightly gentler grass slopes is considered the more beautiful mountain. Many mountaineers combine the tour with the ascent of Ben More; from the Benmore farm in Glen Dochart, the ascent time is around six hours. Another ascent leads from the south over the 1068 m high pre-summit of the Stob Coire an Lochain, a little southeast of the Stob Binnein, to the Stob Binnein and begins in the small settlement Inverlochlarig west of Balquhidder . Due to its location, the summit of Stob Binnein offers a good view to the west as far as Ben Lui and over the southern highlands to Ben Lawers .
