Beinn a'Ghlò (Gaelic for 'Hill of the Veil') is in fact not just one mountain, but the collective name for a group of peaks lying to the north east of the A9, near Blair Atholl. If weather conditions are favourable, we plan to climb all three of its Munros - Carn nan Gabhar (1129m), Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhlagain (1070m) and Carn Liath (975m) in a clockwise circular route of around 14 miles (22 km). A map of the proposed route is shown on the Walkhighlands website.

You should have a reasonable level of fitness before contemplating this walk and bear in mind that although spring may have sprung, we may still encounter significant patches of snow on the ridges and summits. You should have some experience of winter mountaineering and be suitably equipped for this walk, which may require an ice axe and crampons.
