Càrn a' Mhàim is a 3,402-foot (1,037 m) Munro in the Cairngorms. It has a long, narrow ridge that links to the base of the south side of Ben Macdui. Care should be taken when linking these two Munros due to the steep terrain on those southern slopes. Views from this Munro of Ben Macdui and also across to The Devil's Point are magnificent.

Mountaineering

A mountain bike should be used for the rather long way to the old lodge. Unfortunately we didn't have one.
