Beinn Dòrain and Beinn an Dòthaidh Walk

Route Description for Beinn Dòrain and Beinn an Dòthaidh Walk

Discover an unveiling of quintessential rugged, stunning Highland scenery on the challenging Beinn Dòrain and Beinn an Dòthaidh Walk. This full-day adventure is best reserved for hillwalkers with some stamina built up as it has you gaining a significant amount of elevation as you tackle two Munros. Bring a lot of water and snacks to rehydrate and refuel throughout the journey!

From the car park, follow the signs for the train station and head there (you’ll be following West Highland Way). Go through the underpass at the station, through a gate, and a path, leaving West Highland Way, to go uphill up a grassy bowl towards the bealach. From here, you can reach both Munros, but we’ll start with Beinn Dòrain. Go south to walk over some rocks towards the ridge. At the fork by the ridge, keep left to walk along the ridge, past the cairn, and towards a bealach. Then, continue along the ridge towards the actual summit of Beinn Dòrain.
After, head back to the bealach from earlier to head towards the second Munro of this walk: Beinn an Dòthaidh. Head northeast across some slopes to skip out on a steep area and continue along a grassy section. The path can get boggy here—you may also lose the path for a bit. Eventually, you’ll find the path again, which travels up a bealach. Go north here to reach the summit of the second Munro.

But the walk doesn’t stop here! Continue for a short distance west along the slopes towards a cairn 1,000 m and look for a small cairn located northwest, where the best view of the Beinn Dòrain and Beinn an Dòthaidh Walk awaits. From here, head back to the bealach from earlier and retrace your steps back to the car park.
