Overview

Ben Vrackie is a distinctive pyramidal peak standing above the village of Pitlochry in Glen Garry. The summit is easy to reach thanks to a well crafted footpath that climbs gradually through the heather. The rewards are outstanding views along the length of Loch Tummel and North to the heathery peaks of Glen Shee.
