Best Munros for Summer

Summer is when Scotland’s hardest Munros come into condition. Long daylight (18+ hours in June), dry rock and stable weather make it the only sensible season for the big scrambles and exposed traverses. These 210 peaks demand the most from hillwalkers — and reward them with the finest mountain days in Britain.

The Skye Cuillin tops the list: the Inaccessible Pinnacle needs dry rock and is best June–September. The Aonach Eagach and Liathach traverses are summer classics. Midges peak July–August — start early and keep moving.
