Join us for a guided walk of Beinn a’ Chaorainn and Beinn Bhreac
Rising above the stunning granny pines, Beinn Bhreac offers superb views over to Beinn a’ Bhuird, the central Cairngorms and down the Glen itself. The walk up to Beinn Bhreac can often be damp underfoot but your efforts are well rewarded with the views and there is a good mix of mountain flora along the route.
The walk continues over the “yellow moss” to the second Munro, Beinn a’ Chaorainn. Along the way and on the top, you can have good views of the surrounding Cairngorms. After reaching the summit, depending on conditions, you will drop down in the Lairig an Laoigh, the eastern mountain pass, then walk all the way back down Glen Derry.
