Overview

Ben Macdui is the 2nd tallest mountain in the UK and makes for a fantastic journey across the artic-like Cairngorm plateau. Our experienced mountain leaders will guide you along a fantastic route from the Cairngorm ski centre. You will be able to see the impressive northern corries from above and below, follow the south-west edge of the Loch Avon basin and even view a plane wreckage, all this on the way to the apparently haunted Ben Macdui summit. Whether you are interested in sharing some local folklore, learning about our unique mountain flora, or you just want to bag the summit; the Ben Macdui guided hike certainly has plenty to offer. *Please note if you are booking between November - April there is a high chance that crampons and axes will be required.

Itinerary

  • Cairngorms National Park

    This hike takes us into the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, the home to a total of 55 Munros and 4 of the 5 tallest mountains within the UK. We love our home and believe it has so much to offer. 100s of unique lochs and lochans, miles of ancient caledonian pine forest and over 25% of the country's rare and endangered animal, insect and plant species. It truly is magical. But this magic needs to be protected and therefore we encourage people to discover this unique national park with us in a sustainable and responsible way.

    7 hours

  • Cairngorm Mountain

    The UK's 6th biggest mountain offers fantastic views of the National Park. From Glenmore forest and Loch Morlich to the unique plateau. There is so much to see. If you are lucky you on a clear weather day you can even see as far as Ben Nevis.

Awesome hike

Published on Aug, 2024

Matt was a great guide. Very personable and highly competent. This was my first time using Viator and I wasn't sure what to expect. But the hike was great; scenery up Ben Macdui was fabulous; and Matt made it a great trip.

EXCELLENT HIKE TO THE TOP OF BEN MACDUI

Published on Jul, 2024

This hike was absolutely the best! Matt is the perfect guide - knows the mountains and is enthusiastic in sharing his passion for the Scottish hillsides, nature, history and the abundance of beauty. I included a photo of one of his favorite places that he was kind enough to share with us. My fellow hikers and I can’t recommend this hike enough!!!
