Route Description for Beinn Udlamain Munro and Sgairneach Mhòr Walk

Featuring some stunning views of the surrounding mountains and lochs below, the Beinn Udlamain Munro and Sgairneach Mhòr Walk is an excellent adventure if you are looking for an easily accessible route in Cairngorms National Park that still features some rugged terrain.

Setting out from the car park, you will head to the southwest alongside the banks of Allt Coire Dhomhaine as it passes between the Boar of Badenoch and Sow of Atholl hills. At the fork in the path, you will head to the left and cross over the stream, where the route will begin to steepen as you climb uphill to the summit viewpoints.

Here, you will traverse the rugged terrain at the summit of Sgairneach Mhòr, before continuing on to the northwest to reach Beinn Udlamain and its beautifully scenic views over Loch Ericht and the surrounding mountains. After taking in the views, you will make your way downhill to the east, once again following along the stream as it will lead you back to the car park where you began your adventure.
