Cairgorms Moutain senic walk - Scotland - Uk - Scenic Hikes on Waymarking.com

This high level walk in the Cairngorms has an added advantage of starting at altitude for those wishing to “bag the big ones” summer days. The route ascends the second highest mountain in the British Isles, namely Ben Macdui. It is essential that you are well equipped for this walk as conditions can change very fast.
You can only walk this high level walk with a guide.
From the summit, head north retracing your footsteps toward Cairn Lochan. About half way along the path splits; take the right fork and head for the summit (Grid ref. NH984025). From the summit, the views across to Aviemore are stunning giving you the impression you can reach out and put it in your pocket! Continue east with the drop to your left. There is the option of a scramble down the small path of Fiacaill Buttress (for highly competent walkers), or as I did, follow the ridge round to the left over Fiacaill a’ Choire Chais taking in a good view of Cairn Gorm mountain itself. Keeping left of the ski tows, head downhill and drop down to the path just below the cairn. This will take you back to the ski centre and civilisation
