View of the Three Sisters, Glencoe

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a classic viewpoint for the Bidean massif's Three Sisters, one of the most iconic sights in the Highlands and a view that’s emblematic of Glen Coe. The trio of siblings in question are Aonach Dubh, Gearr Aonach and Beinn Fhada. Each sister is a termination of the northeast reaching ridges that protrude from the main spine of the complex and awe-inspiring Bidean.

There's plenty of room for motorists to pull in and take in the sights here. Meanwhile, hikers can use the parking spaces as a starting point for either adventures on the Bidean or to begin an ascent to the Aonach Eagach ridge to the north. However, for the latter, there is more suitable parking along the main road to the east.

Rocky descent in Glencoe National Nature Reserve

The path is tough in parts and full of scree, so tread carefully as you go, this element has been built up to traverse the water running down from the munros.

It's boggy here from the water falling from the Munroes, so be mindful of your step and the rock path soon resumes to follow back down.
