Benvane may be climbed by several routes, which can be combined to make for a circular route. From the south the summit can be reached via the 6 km-long ridge that connects it to Ben Ledi: the bealach between the two peaks can be reached via Ben Ledi itself or directly: either from the Stank Glen on the west side of this ridge, ascending from the shores of Loch Lubaig; or from Brig o' Turk via the Glen Finglas reservoir and Glen Casaig. Brig o' Turk also serves as the start point for a route ascending directly to Benvane's summit via its south ridge. On the northern side of the hill there are also routes from Strathyre, and from Glen Buckie near Balquhidder via a route up the hill's north ridge.
