Driesh Summit

Recommended for

Hiking

by 23 explorers

One of the most easterly Munros and at the very south of the Cairngorms National Park, hikes up Driesh are popular and provide a fantastic day in dramatic landscape. With a summit at 3,107-foot (947 m) Driesh is a serious climb and often hiked in tandem with neighbouring Munro, Mayar. That said, in good conditions, its most popular routes aren’t technical, opening up this rugged mountain to a variety of hillwalkers.

    Hiking

    Driesh is a 3,107-foot (947 m) Munro in the Scottish Highlands. It's commonly climbed with its neighbour Mayar, which is a nice circular route that starts in the dense woodland of Glen Doll Forest and ends on the open mountain side with views over to the Glenshee Munros and Lochnagar on a good day.

    Hiking

    A good beginner Munro, easy to navigate to and along with Mayar makes a grand day out in the mountains.
