Cruach Ardrain (1,046m) and Beinn Tulaichean (946m)

munro-summit-with-patches-of-snow — Cruach Ardrain seen from Crianlarich

An Caisteal (995m) and Beinn a’Chroin (942m)

A superb hike, especially on a fine day, the peak of Beinn Chabhair is reached via a steep eroded path beside the dramatic waterfalls of the Ben Glas Burn and then a series of many ups and downs as you gradually ascend. Read how to access it by public transport.

Ben Challum (1,025m)

snowy-mountain-panorama — Beinn Dubhchraig, Ben Oss and Ben Lui seen from Ben Challum

Approaching Ben Challum on the A82, you might not think much of the vast grassy slopes. Indeed when seen from the Glen Lochay side it looks more classically inspiring. Read how to access it by public transport.

Beinn Dubhchraig (978m) and Beinn Oss (1,029m)

scots-pine-forest — The slopes of these two Munros are covered by one of the last stretches of Caledonian forest (mixed with birch)

Accessed from Dalrigh on the A82 and on a long walk through forests of pine and birch, many people choose to tick off both Dubhchraig and the nearby neighbour Oss. Read how to access them by public transport.
