Star of a million postcards, Buachaille Etive Mòr is the sentinel of Glen Coe: an iconic peak with a handsome pyramidal profile. Its domineering mass of knobbly outcrops and precipitous rock-faces, gashed by vertical gullies, look impenetrable – but thankfully its two Munro summits are well within the reach of the adventurous hillwalker.

Views to the east are fantastic reaching far accross the moor, and to the north Ben Nevis is very clear.
The shortest and easiest ascent for walkers is straight from Lagangarbh south and up the gully, though the climb in winter requires mountaineering experience and crampons.

The Stob Dearg from the massif of Buachaille Etive Mòr ('Big Shepherd of Etive') impresses with its chimney-like northeast face over the valley end of Glen Coe and Rannoch Moor.
