Càrn Gorm is one of a quartet of Munros – the Càrn Mairg group – that are often bagged together as part of a grand horseshoe above Glen Lyon. These are fine, heather-clad, flat-topped mountains that reward with stirring views of the Southern Highlands. In winter conditions, their terrain is equally suited to those exploring with skis as those wearing hiking boots.
