Along with neighbouring Corie an Lochain, Corie an t-Sneachda is one of the famous Northern Corries. It is known for its gloriously accessibility from the car park at the Cairngorm Mountain ski station. It holds snow for much of the year and is immensely popular with winter climbers.

It is separated from Corie an Lochain by an enticing ridgeline. This is the Fiacaill Ridge, an exciting grade II scramble for hikers.

Hiking

Coire an t-Sneachda is one of the most accessible mountain corrie in Britain due to nearby ski station car park and a well-maintained path. The corrie itself boasts grandiose cliffs which are covered by snow for much of the year.

Very nice round with a lot of wind. I had to make something in my ears. Attention in bad weather, visibility restriction
