Rising to 3,419 feet (1,042 m), this is the crowning high point of a group of four Munros above Glen Lyon, which are often referred to as the Càrn Mairg hills. It's a stupendous viewpoint for the Lawers Group on a clear day.
Càrn Mairg's quartzite summit is flanked by two subsidiaries, the long plateau of Meall a Bhàrr to the west and Meall Liath to the east. The most common approach to the summit is as part of a long loop taking in all four Munros, starting from Invervar.

Reaching this summit give some surprisingly vast and panoramic views of the surrounding hills. This is the closest point on the Glen Lyon 4 Munros to Schiehallion, a very obvious cone shape to the north east.
