South of Braemar, An Socach, with its twin summits, sits detached from the other Munros surrounding Glen Ey.

The most direct route heads in from Glen Clunie, just north of the Glenshee Ski Centre. This route is ideal if you wish to hike An Socach on its own. If you prefer to hike over some other peaks on the same outing, then approaching from Inverey through Glen Ey on a fine track makes for an excellent day out bagging Beinn Iutharn Mhor, Glas Tulaichean and more.
