Standard route
Standard route
A short, accessible walk across the ancient Lewisian gneiss landscape unique to the northwest to the 349m summit. The low altitude and gentle gradients make this achievable in 1-3 hours.
Terrain
Remote northwest Highland terrain with minimal paths. Expect peat, rock and heather in a landscape that has changed little in millennia.
In winter
Winter in the northwest is characterised by wind, rain and occasional snow. The remoteness adds an extra dimension of seriousness to winter outings.
This hill is in the Torridon SAIS forecast area. Check SAIS forecasts in winter (December–April).
