Meall a' Bhuiridh
A Munro of 1,108 metres on the edge of Rannoch Moor, the hill of the Glencoe Mountain resort, climbed from the resort's car park off the A82.
Meall a' Bhuiridh rises to 1,108 metres on the edge of Rannoch Moor, above the A82 near Kingshouse.
It is the hill of the Glencoe Mountain resort. The resort says Scotland's first commercial ski area began here in 1956, under the name White Corries, with the first overhead ski lift. Its neighbour Creise, another Munro, stands about 1.2 km to the west.
Walkers start from the resort's car park, off the A82. The resort's chairlift runs to 2,200 feet, but the summit is far above it on open mountain, so plan the whole hill on foot, up and down, in case the lift is not running. The hill is ski ground, in the core of the Scottish Avalanche Information Service's Glencoe forecast. Deer management may take place at any time of year, the Heading for the Scottish Hills tables say, though walkers are welcome. Choose a day with a good forecast, and carry a map, a compass and warm clothes.
