Hiking

Some easy scrambling on its north ridge, fairly easy for an ascent or descent.
Easiest approach from the south, if walking as a circuit.

Running

Stob Bàn sits at 999 metres high, in the west of the Mamores range.

The Gaelic name translates to White Peak, coming from the Quartzite rocks on the summit, often being confused with snow. It also shares a name with Stob Bàn way over in the Grey Corries, don't get them muddled up!

Stob Bàn is an important geological site, with some brilliant examples of Dalradian rock formations littering the hillsides.
