Hikes to Ben Macdui take you to the second highest point in the UK and the central peak of the Cairngorms’ fascinating sub-Arctic plateau. This truly is big country, containing the vast majority of Britain’s highest land. In summer, staggering sights abound, whilst winter is beautifully ethereal but very dangerous for those caught unaware.

Vandring

Small stone pyramids show the way on the ascent.
In good weather / clear visibility you have a great view. In bad weather (sudden weather change) you can quickly lose your orientation (map / compass / GPS)

Vandring

Ben Macdui is the second highest mountain in Britain. From its 4,295-foot (1,309 m) high summit, you experience breathtaking views over the Cairngorms. Accessed by both Deeside and Speyside, the summit is said to be haunted by the wraith-like Old Grey Man. While many people climb Ben Macdui every year, inexperienced hikers should not attempt in bad weather and all hikers should be well prepared in all weathers.

Vandring

If Ben Nevis is the King, Ben Macdui is the Prince. Brooding and sprawling, Britain’s second highest peak – the perennial silver medallist – is a hulk of a mountain. Remote and unforgiving, if not positively Arctic in winter, it is a demanding summit. But thousands climb it annually, determined to stand atop the Cairngorms’ throne.
