About Glas Maol

Glas Maol is a massive sprawling mountain east of Glenshee overlooking the ski-centre. Several grass covered spurs lead from its summit to lower Munros and minor peaks. The western slopes of Glas Maol form part of the Glenshee Ski Centre ski area. The most common route of ascent goes through the slopes, starting from the highest point of the A93 road, the Cairnwell pass. This is the highest public road in Scotland; hence only around 400m of ascent is involved.
