Mighty Beinn a' Ghlo is a complex mountain range of crests and peaks, with Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain being the central Munro summit. Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain towers above the southern sides of Glen Tilt, though is for the most part hidden behind Carn Liath when viewing from the A9.

Starting from above Blair Atholl, most hillwalkers will hike up Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain with the other Munro summits in the Beinn a' Ghlo range. This is a superb route along long crests with faint paths to follow, returning to Blair Atholl on a delightful path and estate track.

Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain's location encourages more exploration in fine weather, with options to extend to the nearby Corbett of Ben Vuirich or hiking westwards to bag nearby peaks of Carn a' Chlamain, Beinn Mheadhonach or even Beinn Dearg.
