Perthshire Hills & Mountains

There are lots of fantastic hills and mountains in Perthshire, from the "fairy hill of the Caledonians" - Schiehallion - to the big mountain massifs of Ben Lawers and Beinn a'Ghlo. These walks are all strenuous or very strenuous, usually involving 10 to 20km and between 750 and 1000m of ascent. Possible ideas for walks include:

Schiehallion - a great walk up Schiehallion (1083m) - a famous Perthshire Munro. There are some interesting stories to tell about "the fairy hill of the Caledonians" including an early experiment to measure the mass of the Earth, the invention of contour lines and the work of the John Muir Trust.

Ben Lawers - this is the 10th highest Munro in Scotland and is internationally recognised for its arctic-alpine flora. There are some interesting stories to tell about its history since the last Ice Age, including its role in the early development of skiing in Scotland! 

Ben Vrackie & Pass of Killiecrankie - this super walk takes in Ben Vrackie, a great viewpoint above Pitlochry, and the scenic Pass of Killiecrankie and its spectacular gorge. On the way, we'll tell you about the history of Moulin and the old hut circles on Moulin Moor.

Beinn a'Ghlo - this is a complex, fascinating mountain with three Munro's. Doing all three summits in one day is a significant challenge where you are rewarded with wild views and remoteness. Or we can climb Carn Liath and continue along the ridge before heading down into one of the many corries of this complex hill.

These are big mountain days, so you will need to have good walking boots, waterproofs, a small rucksack, some warm spare clothing, walking poles (recommended), hand sanitiser, and food and water. Sorry, but no dogs.

The walk will be private and is available for a group of up to 8 people through our online booking system. If you have a larger group, please contact us to discuss. The price for 1 person is £150, 2 people it is £180, for 3-4 people it is £210 and for 5-8 people it is £240. For further information, including terms & conditions, please visit our website at: https://www.perthshiretreks.scot/Perthshire-hills-and-mountains.
