Description
Highland Perthshire from forests to high ridges.
The area between Stirling and the Cairngorms features valleys, large lochs, and mountain groups with diverse hiking opportunities. The book covers areas including Pitlochry, Rannoch, Aberfeldy, Ben Lawers, and Ben Alder. It provides a regional overview useful for combining well-known peaks with quieter alternatives during a stay in this part of Scotland.
Eighty routes with a clear range of challenges.
The selection includes 42 Munros, 22 selected Corbetts, and 15 smaller heights, in addition to connections such as Gaick and Minigaig. Routes are graded by length and difficulty. This facilitates choosing a walk based on fitness and experience, whether you desire a single peak, a major mountain circuit, or a longer trek through remote landscapes.
Maps and route guidance for various types of hiking days.
Descriptions and maps provide support for assessing start points, line choices, and execution. The book is useful both for planning from home and for comparing several alternatives during your stay. The significant geographical and physical variation also allows for changing plans without leaving the region if conditions in one mountain area are unsuitable on a given day.
For independent choices based on weather and terrain.
Some walks are short and straightforward, while others are long and demanding or lead far from roads and facilities. Assessment of navigation, daylight, and current conditions is therefore essential. The guide is suitable for hikers who desire a comprehensive regional selection and can actively use gradings and descriptions to choose outings according to their own skills and the experience of the hiking party.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountain folk who wished to share thorough knowledge of their routes—a tradition that still characterizes the publisher’s books on walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
