Meall Fuar-mhonaidh Summit View of Loch Ness

Hiking

5.0

(31)

With an eye-catching, rounded top, Meall Fuar-mhonaidh lies on the western edge of Loch Ness and makes for a fantastic adventure with extravagant views. At 2,293 feet (699 m), it’s hardly the highest peak but its prominent location draws you to it like a hiker to a sandwich. It’s also a fairly easy and straightforward ascent, ideal for those with less experience of exploring Scotland’s peaks.

Hiking

If you think this is a boggy climb, you haven't been to the Highlands proper. Nothing a good pair of hiking boots can't handle and compared to other hills most parts of the way up are sandy or grassy ground. Surprised nobody mentions the views over the loch which actually are worth mentioning (after all, isn't that what you walk up there for? 😉)

Hiking

This hilltop is both a 'Marilyn' and a 'Graham', and stands at 699m. From the top you are rewarded with impressive views overlooking Loch Ness and the Cairngorm mountains beyond. Whilst a (relatively) small hill, it is worth stopping for as you travel along the Great Glen.
