Beinn a'Ghlo Pronunciation and Meaning

More a range of hills than a single peak, Beinn a'Ghlo has three Munro summits giving a strenuous day. The summits may be rounded, but the steep flanks and sculpted form of this great massif makes for a memorable outing.

Terrain

Mostly good paths, with steep descents between the peaks and some rough, boggy ground on the return.

Public Transport

Public transport to Blair Atholl, 4 km from the walk start.

Winter Safety

Please note that hillwalking in winter conditions - which is whenever there is snow lying - requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly, and to judge which routes are safe for the conditions and your party in winter. Please see our Winter Essentials for details.
