Geal-Chàrn

Recommended by 44 hikers out of 45

Between the long finger of Loch Ericht and the Drumochter Pass rise a family of rounded, heather-clad mountains that contain four Munro summits. This rugged group is known as the Druim Uachdair – the Ridge of the Upper Ground. The most northerly Munro is Geal-chàrn, which just sneaks onto the famous list with an elevation of 3,008 feet (917 m).

    The most Northerly of the Drumochter Munros. Despite being touted as one of the easier Munros to bag, the views are stunning. On a clear day you can see the Munros along the length of Loch Ericht, towards Ben Alder. Geal-Chàrn translates to 'White Hill'.
