Hill walkers and nature lovers alike will love visiting Creag Meagaidh, whether sticking to the waymarked trails of the lower slopes, or when venturing farther inland to the hidden lochans and tumbledown cliffs of bowl-shaped Coire Ardair. You can explore the impressive ridges and summit of the 1,130-metre Creag Meagaidh itself, or scout the landscape with binoculars for black grouse, mountain hare, badger, pine marten or red deer. In winter, those looking for white-knuckle thrills can tackle some of the best ice climbing routes in Britain, while it’s all change in summer: out go the peak workouts and ice picks, in come the ptarmigans, peregrines and picnics.
