North of Ballater, Morven is the highest point on the undulating and flowing ground overlooking Deeside. Being quite isolated, its conical shape is quite prominent when viewed from most directions.

The most direct and shortest route begins from the east of Morven above the forests and farmlands of Cromar. An obvious path leads through heather all the way to the summit.

Other routes are longer, most begin on tracks and trails and end with a pathless trudge through heather to Morven's summit.
