Beinn Bhreac rises to 912 m in Drumochter, Atholl & Glen Shee, 4 km south-west of Carn an Fhidhleir, high enough to be a Corbett. It falls just short of Munro height, so it's often quieter than its neighbours for much the same view.
From Glen Feshie, Achlean Road, much of the way is over open hillside with no path: pick your line with a map and compass. It's a very long day: many walkers split it over two days, camping or using a bothy, or cycle any track at the start.
