Normally reached by deviating from the traditional path up Ben Vrackie, the trail over this bealach – or up to the smaller Meall na h-Aodainn Moire, at 2,077 feet (633m) – can take you away from the people climbing the more popular peak and offer great views down Glen Garry. It's a nice detour, well worth the slight extra distance.
