Mountain Description
|
|
|
Ben Vrackie is a very popular hill overlooking Pitlochry and with magnificent views. Ben Vrackie is an irregular hill, rough and craggy in places, although the ascent from Moulin is very straight-forward. Ben Vrackie has several ridges; a main ridge runs NE then N to Meall Breac (696m) and this has an E spur to Carn Geal (776m); a second main ridge runs NW to Meall an Daimh (722m) and this has a SW spur to Meall na Moine. All ridges are craggy in places.

You really couldnt go wrong with this mountain, the path is the best I have seen, and goes from the carpark all the way to the summit, good views from summit on a good day.

The path from Loch a'Choire has been rebuilt to an excellent standard.
