A dismantled railway line leads you part of the way along the southern approach with a clear track continuing on, almost to the summit itself. These trails make Glas Tulaichean a highly achievable Munro, even for those fairly new to Highland walking. To start, you can park in the Spittal of Glenshee and walk up to the fantastic, turreted Dalmunzie Castle Hotel. Alternatively, call and ask if you can use their car park and save your feet.
From the trig point at the summit, you can descend to the north, skirting the eastern corries and returning via Gleann Taitneach. A domed mountain, there’s nothing technical lurking for winter mountaineers, and those with the experience and equipment can enjoy spectacular sights when snow falls.
Base yourself in Pitlochry or find campsites dotted around the area.
