周辺の峡谷・トップ5

This dramatic gorge overlooks Loch Maree and creates a breathtaking view of the loch's waters, framed by rugged mountains and lush forest in the distance.

Eag Dhubh or more strictly Eag Dhubh na h-Eigheachd is the very prominent cleft seen in the otherwise largely unbroken south face of Sgùrr Mòr, the higher of the two Munro summits of Beinn Alligin in Glen Torridon. Most of this cleft lies in shaow for much of the day. It is usually seen from just west of the summit of Sgùrr Mòr either while approaching or leaving the summit. From below it is best viewed from about 2km up the Coire Mhic Nòbuill path leading behing Liathach or towards the Horns of Alligin and Beinn Dearg. There is no route down this cleft to the corrie below.

Very nice technical descent in an incredibly beautiful environment. For experienced mountain bikers! Especially very rough with lots of boulders, steep parts but also wonderfully flowy in parts!

A gigantic hanging valley, Coire na Sleaghaich's grassy bowl is a wonderfully wild and scenic part of complex Slioch. From here, you can ascend pathlessly to the grand summit of Sgùrr an Tuill Bhàin or continue to the northwest past two glistening lochans to gain Slioch's main summit. Wild goats roam the land here, descendants from a domestic herd that grazed here hundreds of years ago.

For some, Torridon is Scotland's finest glen. This is a region of truly ancient mountain massifs, containing some of the oldest exposed land on the planet. The foundations of gneiss that the likes of Liathach and Beinn Eighe sit on are thought to be in the region of 2,600 million years old. Glen Torridon's notorious triumvirate of Beinn Alligin, Liathach and Beinn Eighe are simply astonishing mountain days, but there's more to Torridon than this famous three. Corbetts like Baosbheinn and Beinn Dearg have their own charms, while being much quieter than the big three.

Eag Dhubh is a colossal cleft in Beinn Alligin's otherwise beautiful form. Visible from a great distance, it cuts through the 'Jewelled Mountain' just below the main summit of Sgùrr Mòr. The resulting boulder field in the corrie below is clear evidence of its violent birth. Its dramatic appearance from the trail is a magnet for photographers.

Coire Lair is simply stunning! the first section of trail is incredible, a bit lower its suffered significant water damage, and is mainly ruts of baby heads.

This descent has some loose and steep sections where an injury after a crash might have consequences. Don't let that put you off. The open vistas to the south and unrelenting fun of the trail will have you grinning from ear to ear.
