About Beinn a' Chlachair

Beinn a' Chlachair stands as the tallest peak among a trio of Munros nestled within the Ardverikie Forest, just south of the picturesque Loch Laggan. One of its most striking characteristics is Coire Mòr a' Chlachair, a magnificent corrie that graces its northern slopes. The mountain boasts an expansive plateau, offering sweeping views, yet it presents an imposing barrier to the secluded An Lairig to the south. On all other sides, the terrain is notably steep, adding to the mountain's rugged allure.
