Standard route · 18km
Standard route
The standard route is a longer walk with a gradual approach covering approximately 18km with 932m of total ascent — a long and demanding day. Lower slopes cross heather moorland and rough grass, often boggy and pathless. Higher up, the terrain changes to exposed Torridonian sandstone or quartzite, increasingly rocky. Paths are often absent above the glen floor — expect rough, trackless terrain requiring confident navigation. The summit is marked by a cairn.
Terrain
Above 700m the ground is fully exposed to weather from all directions. Paths are often absent above the glen floor — expect rough, trackless terrain requiring confident navigation. Good ridge connections to neighbouring summits make multi-hill days a natural option.
In winter
In winter, An Teallach - Sgurr Fiona is a serious proposition. Full winter conditions are common from November to April with snow, ice and fierce Atlantic winds. An ice axe and crampons are essential above 600m. At this latitude, daylight hours drop below seven in December — start early and carry a headtorch.
