Standard route
Standard route
A steady ascent via stalkers paths built for deer management on the Lochaber hills to the 477m summit. The walking is straightforward with clear views opening up as you gain height. Allow 2-4 hours.
Terrain
Rough ground typical of Lochaber — a mix of rock, peat and grass. The terrain is more demanding than the height suggests.
In winter
Winter brings snow and ice that makes Lochaber hills serious propositions. The wet climate means ice forms readily. Microspikes are useful throughout winter.
This hill is in the Glen Coe SAIS forecast area. Check SAIS forecasts in winter (December–April).
