Blà Bheinn is one of the most magnificent mountains in Britain; a great isolated citadel of rock with fabulous views and all the character of the main Cuillin Ridge. Its ascent is straightforward by Cuillin standards but very rocky.

Terrain

Good path at first, but later the going becomes very rough, with loose stones, a scree gully, and some very mild scrambling.

Public Transport

Bus from Broadford.

Start

Car park off B8083 road near Loch Slapin. Open start point in Google Maps for directions.
