About Schiehallion
Schiehallion stands between Loch Rannoch and Loch Tummel in Highland Perthshire, and from the west it shows a near-perfect cone. It is a Munro and a Marilyn. Nevil Maskelyne used the hill's regular shape in an experiment to measure the density of the Earth. Meall Garbh, the nearest higher hill, lies 13.0 km to the south-west.
The standard route starts at the Braes of Foss car park on the east side. The John Muir Trust rebuilt the path, which climbs the long east ridge on a good surface. Higher up the path gives way to a long ridge of quartzite boulders before the summit.
The boulder field is slow and awkward, and it hides the line of the path in mist. On the way down, follow the east ridge with care, as wandering off it leads onto steep ground on the flanks.
Schiehallion is 1,083 m (3,554 ft) high with 716 m of prominence. It is in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is the 5th highest of the 220 summits Peakify lists in Perth and Kinross. The nearest summits are Aodann Mhor (3.3 km), Cnoc nan Aighean (2.3 km) and Meall nan Eun (3.9 km).
Take the built path from the Braes of Foss car park up the east ridge. The final section crosses rough boulders.
Yes. The path is clear and well built for most of the way, though the summit boulders need care.

Peakify lists 1 route for Schiehallion, including available distance, ascent, start point, and difficulty details.
Peakify rates each day on the summit Good, Marginal or Poor from the forecast summit wind, gusts, chance of rain and wind chill. Wind of 40 mph or gusts of 65 mph make it Poor; wind of 25 mph, gusts of 45 mph, a 60% chance of rain or a feels-like temperature of -8°C or below make it Marginal. Today's and tomorrow's ratings are at the top of this page. The rating covers the weather only: also check your route, daylight, kit and experience, and in winter whether you need an ice axe and crampons.
The page includes cached mountain forecast context, snow outlook, dark-sky signals, cloud-inversion information, sunrise, sunset, and summit planning details where available.
