On the southern fringes of the Cairngorms National Park is a mountain beloved to the folk of Pitlochry and, indeed, wider Perthshire. Hikes to Ben Vrackie take you to a distinctive pyramidal peak that stands proud and individual, a lone sentinel boasting splendid views of its distant neighbours. Ease of navigation and good paths mean that this is a great outing for the whole family, with very little technical difficulty.

    Hiking

    Ben Vrackie, at 2,759 feet (841 m), is classified as a Corbett. It's significantly higher than the surrounding hills so you get great views, especially north into the Cairngorms and west down Loch Tummel. Most people walk it via the path from Pitlochry to the south. It's a great walk with between 2,000 and 2,600 feet (600 - 800 m) of ascent.

    An easy walk until you reach the lochan then the going gets a little harder to the summit but well worth the views!!
