Join us for a guided walk of Ben Macdui

At 1309m, Ben Macdui is the highest mountain in the Cairngorms, second in Scotland below Ben Nevis. You will walk past the northern corries and over the plateau to the summit. A short walk from the top gives excellent views into the Lairig Ghru and mountains beyond. Depending on the time of year, on the descent your guide may take you for a look into beautiful Loch A’an before heading back via Cairn Gorm (if time allows).
