One of the remotest Munros in the country, a broad hill rising in the wild ground between Loch Ossian and Loch Ericht
Open accessScotland's right of responsible access applies
Few Scottish hills sit as far from a road as Geal-charn, which rises to 1,131m in the wild country between Loch Ossian and Loch Ericht. It is a Munro — a Scottish hill over 3,000 feet — with a broad whaleback summit rather than a rocky one, and a genuine 409m drop to the passes on either side. Most people reach it by cycling or walking miles in from Corrour or Loch Laggan, often taking in Aonach Beag and Beinn Eibhinn on the same round, or coming over from Ben Alder to the south-east. That remoteness is the appeal, but it means a long day and a reliable forecast.
Full name: Geal-charn
