Loch Laggan Munros | Beinn a'Chlachair, Geal Chàrn and Creag Pitridh

Join Douglas as he heads into the central Highlands to bag the 3 isolated Munros south of Loch Laggan: Beinn a'Chlachair, Geal Chàrn and Creag Pitridh. This is a long walk, coming in at 26km, although the terrain is fairly easy going with good tracks and paths for most of it. On a clear day you should get great views of the surrounding Munros of Chno Dearg, the Easains, the Grey Corries and the Aonach Beag range. There is also a stunning sandy beach at Lochan na h-Earba, which you'll pass near the beginning and end of the route.

Thanks for the Video. I climbed these in October 1999, cycled to Loch na h earba, and walked the circuit, the bike saved a lot of walking. The weather was really fine, but cold, with a fair bit snow coming down on the descent.

[@HighlandHikers]

Awesome, that sounds like a good day out! A bike would definitely have been handy for this one. I may need to make a purchase at some point 🚲 Thanks for watching 😃

Well done Douglas another great vid,will use it as a guide for next summer when i head out to the hills again,cheers👍

[@HighlandHikers]

Thanks Billy, glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully you’ll get better weather than we did 🌧 I imagine there’s be some great views on a good day 😎

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Enjoyed that, went around these 3 yesterday 😁 I took my bike up to the fork off towards Beinn A’Chlachair, was glad I did for the way back 😂 great drone footage of the Loch too, like you say it would be great for a day trip by itself!
Atb, James

[@HighlandHikers]

Thanks James! Hopefully you got better weather than we did - looking forward to your video 👍 We saw a few bikes at that fork - I might have been a wee bit jealous 😂 Cheers, Douglas

[@calumpaterson123]

I've never thought of doing these 3 via this route. Another cracking video!

[@HighlandHikers]

Thanks Calum! I just followed the standard WH route to be fair. Did you have a different route in mind?

[@calumpaterson123]

@@HighlandHikers I’ve had a total brain fart. I’ve confused these 3 with a different set. I was thinking of the Creag Meagaidh Circuit. Numpty so I am. Haha! Still… cracking video!

[@HighlandHikers]

Haha, no worries! They’re pretty close to each other, so an easy mistake to make 🙃

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Unlucky with the weather Douglas but still a great walk. Might try and walk these this year! Thanks for sharing! Paul

[@HighlandHikers]

Thanks Paul! To be fair it’s about time I got some cloudy summits. Been pretty lucky since we started doing these videos. If you’re looking to stay somewhere nearby I’d recommend the Laggan hotel.

Brilliant Video Douglas! New sub here!

[@HighlandHikers]

Thank you, much appreciated! Have you been to Scotland before?

[@Kev_Russ]

Nice one Douglas. It's a guid wee round. I mind thinking Creag Pitridh wis a wee short yin like.

[@HighlandHikers]

Thanks Kevin! Yeah, Pitridh just looks like a wee bump when you see it from a’Chlachair. I think in the video I said there was only 150m of ascent - but checking the map it’s actually only about 100m! A debatable Munro for sure.
