Sgùrr Gaorsaic, from Morvich

Sgùrr Gaorsaic is a remote Corbett, rather overshadowed by grander mountains all around. This route gives the most convenient approach for a day-walk, crossing the dramatic Bealach na Sgairne Pass before descending to the foot of the hill. Despite its own lack of character, the mountainous surroundings make for an enjoyable outing.

Terrain

Good paths to the Bealach an Sgairne and beyond. The path becomes briefly boggy near Loch a' Bhealaich; the ascent to Sgùrr Gaorsaic itself is pathless hillside.
