Smooth lines do not a pushover make, and the massive dome of Macdui is the finest example of how arctic Britain can be when winter bites hard. Navigationally perplexing all year and home to Britain’s deepest snow, the environments atop this Cairngorm edifice enter the realms of the other-worldly come winter. And in summer the views are fine enough to melt your face.Best route from Whitewell (NN916086), then on the Lurcher’s Crag path, for huge views of the Lairig Ghru.

Have done it the usual way from the ski lift and also up over from the Laraig ghru. Pretty awesome either way - a heck of a climb from the Laraig though.
