It stands at an impressive height of 1,001 meters (3,284 feet) above sea level, making it one of the highest peaks in the area.

A popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, Beinn Bhàn offers a range of routes to accommodate different skill levels. The most common approach to the summit is from the village of Blair Atholl, where a well-marked path leads visitors through stunning landscapes and challenging terrain. The ascent can take several hours, but the reward is well worth the effort as it offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges, lochs, and glens.
