    Tips

    The principal summit on one of Scotland's greatest mountains, Bidean nam Bian is a spectacular objective. Any ascent to this 3,770-foot (1,150 m) perch is a strenuous outing, requiring previous hillwalking experience. However, the rewards far outweigh the challenges.

    As the highest point for many miles around, Bidean Nam Bian provides a wonderful West Highland panorama. Highlights include the rounded dome and arcing ridgeline of Ben Nevis and the CMD Arête beyond the Aonach Eagach and the Mamores to the north; the view south to Loch Etive and complex Ben Starav; and west past Beinn a' Bheithir towards Mull and the sea.

      The path up is sometimes obscured, but care is definately needed descending towards Stob Coire, the path splits and some routes are safer than others. Tread carefully.
