Walk 150: Beinn an t-Sidhean

Unite | Hike | Explore

This walk will be led by a trainer Boots & Beards walk leader alongside stewards who will ensure the groups safety during this excursion.

Beinn an t-Sìdhean is a steep-sided hill that shelters Strathyre from the westerly winds. Its flanks are extensively clothed with forestry plantations but from the moorland above there are stunning views over Loch Lubnaig. The walk is described to the true summit, but there are a couple of fine stops along the way that make grand objectives for a slightly shorter walk in their own right.

Walk highlands rates this walk as a grade 3/5 (4.5 miles in total, approx 3.5 hours walking time). Please ensure you conduct your own research prior to attending this walk. Walk Highlands website is a good resource for the same.
