18.1km with 1080 metres of ascent

By doing an anticlockwise round from the Glen Turret dam we get a long walk over relatively easy terrain. The bonus is we get to see the steep backside of Ben Chonzie. Throw in a Corbett summit as well as the Munro and a cheeky wee Corbett Top – this will be a satisfying walk.

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. Once the snow gets firm enough for winter tactics to come in to play folk need to have the skills to cope with conditions. Our Intro to Scottish winter skills course is recommended for anyone needing to learn the basics or improve rusty technique. All winter High Tops are weather dependent. If there is a high avalanche risk on the slopes we’re planning to go on to we will change the route or the hill. If storm winds are blowing we may have to take in a shorter, lower hill.

Previous winter walking experience, or completion of a recent winter skills course, is an essential prerequisite for these walks.
