If you're hiking through the boulder-strewn jaws of the Chalamain Gap, odds are you are headed somewhere spectacular. This rocky defile connects the popular Cairngorm ski area with the magical Lairig Ghru – the great cleft through the heart of the Cairngorms. Properly known as Eag Choire a Chomhlaich, the Gap can be an awkward obstacle but nowhere is it overly technical.

less as a recommendation than as a warning!

This piece is very, very uncomfortable, especially with a heavy backpack, the way through the Lairig Ghru is comparatively a walk.
Doing a few more meters of altitude and going pathlessly over the Creag a' Chalamain is worth considering!

A fun rocky pass through the hillside. Care is needed and would be difficult to pass with small dogs or children. Even a walk through here is a thrilling day out. This can however be a very dangerous spot in winter, with snow building up around the gap.
