Description
From the car park a trail leads up the valley, partly on a boardwalk giving a good perspective of the native woodland, now regenerating due to the controlling of deer numbers. It?s worth continuing far enough to get the view into Coire Ardair with it?s dramatic 400m cliffs, particularly impressive in winter, before returning by the same route.
Experienced hillwalkers can continue beyond this to the foot of the corrie before heading up to the col known as the window and on to the summit of Creag Meagaidh. This gives an outing of 10 miles / 16 km with 900 metres of ascent.
Access Info

Additional Info

The trail winds through native woodland dominated by a mix of trees and gives spectacular views of the expanse of Loch Laggan and the crags in Coire Adair.
