Hard

Scotland > Highland

Exceptional trail

Length

18km

Duration

7h30min

Elev gain

This is an incredible and challenging loop to ascend Ben Macdui (1,309 m), Stob Coire an t-Sneachda (1,176 m), Cairn Gorm (1,244 m), three beautiful munros in the Cairngorms National Park in the Highlands. The trail is difficult beginning immediately with a steep gradient uphill. After having reached Ben Macdui, the trail begins to plateau to reach the other two munros before coming back down. Following the well-maintained path, hikers will be greeted with incredible views over the highland landscape with rocky mountain faces and the beautiful Loch Avon.
