He is believed to have arrived at the foot of the mountains from the A82, south of Crianlarich, to make an ascent on An Caisteal and Beinn a Chroin.
But he has not been in contact with family or friends since and concern for his welfare is growing.
He is described as being around 5ft 11, lean build, with dark greying hair and stubble.
He is believed to be wearing hiking clothing, including black trousers, black top, brown hiking boots and a maroon and light blue striped hat.
Ivan is known to be in possession of a light grey backpack, green one-man tent and two purple hiking poles.
Inspector David Marr, from Police Scotland, said: “Ivan has not been in touch with friends or family for the past day and this is extremely out-of-character for him.
“As time passes, concern for his welfare continues to grow.
“We are carrying out extensive searches in the area, with the assistance of partner agencies, and are asking for anyone with information on Ivan’s whereabouts, or any possible sightings, to please come forward.”
