Beinn Bhreac
At 841 metres, a classic half-day hike from the edge of Pitlochry, with views over the Tay valley and the Pitlochry valley from the summit.
Beinn Bhreac lies north of Pitlochry and is the area's most popular hill to climb. The standard route starts from the car park above Moulin village, passes through birch woods and heather moorland, skirts the small Loch a' Choire on the hillside, and climbs a steep final slope to the summit. It is about 9–10 km round trip with roughly 600 metres of ascent, and takes 4–5 hours. The summit has a direction indicator, and on clear days you can see Schiehallion, Loch Tay and the Cairngorms. Entry is free. The path is partly wet and stony, so wear hiking boots and windproof, waterproof clothing, and check the mountain weather forecast, as conditions change quickly.
