Creag Mhòr and Loch Avon, from Glenmore
Creag Mhòr is a Corbett which is dwarfed by the giant neighbouring mountains, though its summit is distinguished by a granite tor. Its position - that awkward to reach - makes it an excellent opportunity for a fine circuit, visiting the lower end of spectacular Loch Avon.
Terrain
Good paths for much of the route; some boggier ground, especially on the return. Rougher going in parts and pathless on Creag Mhor. The route is very remote and far from help.
Public Transport
Glenmore bus from Aviemore.
Start
Glenmore Lodge.
