Standard route
Standard route
A steady ascent past waterfalls and through Atlantic oakwood on the lower slopes to the 465m 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
Lochaber winter conditions are variable — Atlantic weather means rapid freeze-thaw cycles. Check conditions carefully. Snow can fall at any altitude.
This hill is in the Glen Coe SAIS forecast area. Check SAIS forecasts in winter (December–April).
