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.

Beautifully embedded lake in the valley. There is a parking lot right on the street, from where you can walk a few steps along the lakeshore.
