Bealach Dearg is a high col between the Bidean massif's two Munros, with Stob Coire Sgreamhach to the east and Bidean Nam Bian to the northwest. It stands at the head of the Lost Valley and enjoys a beautiful view down the length of this huge corrie – a superb place to ponder the immensity of the natural forces that sculpted the landscape.
The path down into – or up from, if you're ascending – the Lost Valley is very steep and a little loose in its upper section. Take your time and take care. Bear in mind that after periods of heavy snowfall, there is avalanche risk here.
