Ben Chonzie or Ben-y-Hone is a mountain in the Breadalbane region of the Scottish Highlands. It is eleven kilometres northwest of Crieff. It stands at 931 metres and is therefore listed as a Munro. It is most often climbed from Invergeldie to the southwest; however it can also be climbed from the southeast by way of Glen Turret. The latter is longer but presents walkers with a more interesting and scenic climb, having an array of buttresses and cliffs which can be tackled by those who feel brave, or passed by on either side. Mountain hares can be seen around the plateau area if walkers are quiet and observant. There are also many other animals on the approaches to the Ben, including buzzards, other birds of prey, and frogs and newts in the pools alongside the vehicular track that runs up the eastern aspect of the loch. Deer may be seen on the slopes to the north of the Ben.
