Ben More Assynt Summit
Hiking
5.0
(12)
Dramatic, rugged and domineering, hikes up Ben More Assynt bring you to viewpoints over the astonishing knock and lochan landscape of the Assynt-Coigach National Scenic Area. With a summit at 3,274 feet (998 m), this Munro is commonly bagged in conjunction with its sister Munro, Conival. Separated by a high ridge, Conival is often climbed first, on the way to Ben More Assynt itself.

Hiking
Ben More (Assynt) is most commonly climbed along the ridge from Conival. My guidebook described it as follows - ‘the ridge from Conival to Ben More Assynt is a wonderful airy traverse to a high, remote hill. At times it narrows a little, but never deliciously so’. I think that sums it up perfectly. Views came and went during my ascent due to low cloud but down off the ridge I spotted a heart shaped Lochan ❤ - see if you can spot it too

Hiking
From Conval, the walk across to Ben More Assynt is rough, rocky, and takes longer than you would expect. The summit is a craggy rock formation, protruding from the summit.
