Overview

Mobile ticket
Ben Macdui is the 2nd tallest mountain in the UK and makes for a fantastic journey across the artic-like Cairngorm plateau.
Our experienced mountain leaders will guide you along a fantastic route from the Cairngorm ski centre. You will be able to see the impressive northern corries from above and below, follow the south-west edge of the Loch Avon basin and even view a plane wreckage, all this on the way to the apparently haunted Ben Macdui summit.
Whether you are interested in sharing some local folklore, learning about our unique mountain flora, or you just want to bag the summit; the Ben Macdui guided hike certainly has plenty to offer.
*Please note if you are booking between November - April there is a high chance that crampons and axes will be required.

5.00Matt was a great guide. Very personable and highly competent. This was my first time using Viator and I wasn't sure what to expect. But the hike was great; scenery up Ben Macdui was fabulous; and Matt made it a great trip.

5.00This hike was absolutely the best! Matt is the perfect guide - knows the mountains and is enthusiastic in sharing his passion for the Scottish hillsides, nature, history and the abundance of beauty. I included a photo of one of his favorite places that he was kind enough to share with us. My fellow hikers and I can’t recommend this hike enough!!!
Fantastic guide and hike

5.00I have really enjoyed the walking tour to Ben Macdui with Matt. He provided great weather and gear information prior to the hike and answered all of my questions. The chosen route provided many stunning views and had a great mix of terrain. Matt is a very knowledgeable, attentive and friendly guide, and taught me some navigation skills along the way. Initially I was a bit nervous about doing the ascend in the challenging Scottish weather (we’ve encountered everything from sunshine, to rain, snow and hail), but it turned out to be a wonderful adventure for this novice hiker. I highly recommend the Lost Sheep tours!
