    Hiking

    Lairig Gartain is the long valley separating the Buachaille Etives Beag and Mòr. The trail through the floor of the valley connects Glen Coe with Glen Etive and can also be used to access both Buachailles too. The River Coupall chuckles alongside the path on its way down to meet the River Etive below the iconic pyramid of Stob Dearg.

    Hiking

    The Lairig Gartain is a deep valley dividing the two Buachailles, Mòr and Beag. It is also where the River Coupall rises before flowing around Buachaille Etive Mòr and descending down Glen Etive. Often wet, it is a good walking route through from Glen Etive to Glencoe and most walkers climbing Buachaille Etive Mòr will descend into it on their return.
