The summit of Carn Aosda is just over 250m above Glenshee Ski Centre and, combined with fine tracks leading from the ski centre to its summit, a straightforward ascent can be enjoyed. Carn Aosda is therefore one of the easiest Munros to bag !

Carn Aosda's Munro summit is less than 1km from Glenshee Ski Centre, with a ski-track heading more or less directly to the small bouldery cairn on the top. It's quite steep for newbies to hillwalking, so an option would be to take one of the more gently rising ski-tracks heading first to Coire Butchart.

Tag in The Cairnwell for a circular route above Glenshee Ski Centre, or better still, extend the route westwards to Carn a'Gheoidh for a longer and more interesting route away from crowds.
