Overview

The walk takes in the two Munros to the east side of the Drumochter pass. It involves an initial steady climb up a track to the bealach between the hills; and then an "out and back" walk across the extensive, open, undulating plateau to each of the Munros. The return is by the same track back to the A9. These hills are rounded and are well suited to walking in winter conditions. Estimated finish time is 4pm, back at West Port by 6pm.

This walk may be changed to Sunday 12th January depending on the weather forecast.
