The Glen Dessary Munros

At the end of the roller-coaster road that follows the banks of Loch Arkaig, is Glen Dessary. If you have visited Inverie in Knoydart and viewed the classic alpine shaped peak, way up the Glen, then you've seen Sgurr na Ciche. The views from the top looking back down Loch Nevis are incredible.

These are three spectacular Munros in some of the remotest terrain in the West Highlands. You will need to have a very good level of fitness for this long walk, often on rough, pathless ground.

Rough Route Stats

Distance: 26km

Ascent: 1500m

We've graded this as a black adventure because it is a long (26km) hike with 1500m of ascent taking in the stunning Sgurr na Ciche, Garbh Chioch Mhor and Sgurr nan Coireachan. This is a long, strenuous day and not to be underestimated. It may take 10hours or more to complete. Please get in touch if you are unsure about the suitability of this adventure for you.

What about Sgurr Mor? 

You may have noticed we aren't including Sgurr Mor this year. Why? It made our Glen Dessary adventure an absolutely mega day and significantly lowered the chances of completing the route. It was also a lot of effort to get to a very straight forward hill. This year we'll be visiting Sgurr Mor but not on foot. We'll be paddling across Loch Quoich before ascending on foot.
