  Guided walk up Lochnagar  


Day walk up the Lochnagar group of Munros


Days : 1  Max ratio : 1:8  Cost : £50  Dates : 4 June



We're up in Royal Deeside for 2 days for the Queen's Jubilee holiday !

On this day we're hillwalking up the circuit of Munros surrounding Loch Muick including Lochnagar and Broad Cairn. Then on the following day, we'll head up the eastern Glenshee peaks, bagging 6 Munros including Glas Maol, Tolmount and Carn an Tuirc - more details of this walk are here.

General outline of trip :

High above Royal Deeside, Lochnagar looks down into dark corries and deep lochans. This superb high-level circuit takes in 5 Munros, including Broad Cairn, Carn an t-Saigairt Mor and Cairn Bannoch, on one day's hillwalking starting from Loch Muick, a few miles south of Ballater. Beyond Lochnagar and on faint paths in a remote area, we'll hopefully see ptarmigan and other wildlife. Although billed as a day taking in 5 Munros, the pace is not as arduous as it sounds and we'll have plenty time to stop at summit cairns to take in the views.

You'll need general hillwalking equipment for the day - a list is here.

You can book the trip using our booking form.

We're intending to be based in Braemar overnight and can offer transport from Edinburgh or Perth for people wanting to walk both days.
