Standard route
Standard route
A short, accessible walk through birch woodland and heather moorland typical of Highland Perthshire to the 361m summit. The low altitude and gentle gradients make this achievable in 1-3 hours.
Terrain
Typical Highland Perthshire terrain — birch woodland below, heather and grass above. Some wet ground crossing burns.
In winter
Winter walking is comfortable with standard gear. Snow rarely persists below 600m. The well-drained terrain means less ice than wetter western hills.
