Ben Vrackie rises north of Pitlochry in Highland Perthshire. It is a Corbett and a Marilyn, with a steep, rocky southern face above a small loch. Carn Liath on Beinn a' Ghlo, the nearest higher hill, lies 6.7 km to the north.
The standard route starts at the car park above Moulin, on the edge of Pitlochry. A path climbs through birch woods and across open moor to Loch a' Choire, set below the summit cone. From the loch a steep, stepped path zigzags up to the top.
