Gleouraich lies to the west of Invergarry and just north of the sprawling Loch Cuaich. This fantastic Munro reaches 3,396 feet (1,035 m) and is a mountain of two personalities: it’s southern side is welcoming with a grassy, rounded bulk; it’s north side is a severe, rocky face with spectacular ridges and steep corries. You can bag two Munros in one adventure fairly easily here, thanks to neighbouring Spidean Mialach being a relatively straightforward ascent.
These mountains have particularly fine examples of stalkers’ paths and are widely considered to be quite easy Munros. A common starting point is the parking area by the side of Loch Cuaich, at the base of Coire Peitireach from where you can ascend via the stalkers’ path up to Druim Seileach. When you reach Gleouraich’s summit, phenomenal views await you. The panorama is particularly incredible to the north, as the mountain drops away beneath.
Gleouraich is a 3,396-foot (1,035 m) Munro in the Scottish Highlands. From the summit you can appreciate the mountain range that spans the south of Glen Shiel. To the other side, the views over Loch Quoich are wonderful.

Great views all around from this munro and well worth saving for a day with good weather. Be prepared for solid steep climbing though no matter from what direction you are tackling this one!
