Description
These two remote mountains form the south-western half of a long high ridge extending from Loch Ossian to Loch Pattack. On a clear day these two mountains and the neighbouring Geal-Charn can be well seen from Glen Spean across the Loch Laggan Reservoir. Aonach Beag is a well-defined peak with three ridges converging at its summit, Beinn Eibhinn is a more spacious mountain rising from Strath Ossian to its level summit ridge, below which is the deep Coire a' Charra Mhoir. The approaches to these mountains, either from Loch Ossian or from Glen Spean are quite long. The shorter one is from Corrour Halt on the West Highland Railway, and there should be time to climb both peaks and get back to the station between the morning and evening trains. Proceed along the private road on the south side of Loch Ossian and continue up the path beside the Uisge Labhair for about 1
