Winter High Tops | Winter High Tops | Beinn Mhic Chasgaig

9/8km with 760 metres of ascent

The days will involve a high top - either a Munro or one of our finer Corbetts - so you will need to have previous hill walking experience. If we need to refresh winter skills on the move we will, but if you require more extensive tuition please book on one of our winter skills courses.

Previous winter hill walking experience or completion of a recent winter skills course is essential. If these days appear like they’ll be a bit much check out our Local Winter Hill Walks instead.

For our midwinter solstice walk we thought we’d revisit atmospheric Glen Etive with this excellent outing on one of the area’s best Corbetts – Beinn Mhic Chasgaig. It might be a bit dwarfed by its bigger neighbours, but it packs a mighty punch with steep approaches, spectacular gorges, and a remote air about it, even though it’s not far from the road. We might do the usual route, but – it being winter – we might have to vary it a bit.
