The hill

Beinn na Lap, at 935 metres, stands above the north side of Loch Ossian on Corrour Estate, which counts it among its six Munros.

It is reached from Corrour station, which has no road to it. The estate's own history says many Munro collectors keep this hill for their last.

Starts from
Corrour station, the only public way in that the estate describes.
The ground
Corrour Estate counts Beinn na Lap among its six Munros. To ask about deer stalking, ring the estate office before setting out: 01397 707 070.
Under snow
No avalanche forecast covers this hill, but snow brings the risk here all the same. The service's forecasts for its six areas begin on 17 December 2026.
Summit
Grid reference NN 376 695
No road, no car park
Corrour station has no road access and no parking, and the estate says the Station House beside it can be reached only by train or a twenty-mile walk. Do not count on a phone signal.
Trains
Check National Rail for the train on the day you go, and for the train back, before you set out.
Food and drink
The estate's Station House is usually open from the end of March to the end of October: Friday to Wednesday 8.30am to 9pm, and Thursday 6.30pm to 9pm only. Check before you count on it.

Before you go

Carry

  • A paper map and a compass, and the skill to use them
  • Waterproofs, warm layers, hat and gloves
  • Food and drink
  • A head torch, a whistle and a first aid kit
  • A survival bag
  • Boots with a good grip

Under snow and ice this is a different day, with short light and the risk of avalanche. It needs an ice axe, crampons, winter boots and the skill to use them.

If something goes wrong

  • Dial 999, ask for the police, then mountain rescue
  • Give a six-figure grid reference: the summit is NN 376 695
  • Say how many are hurt, how many are with you, and your number
  • Register to text 999 before the day: text the word register to 999

The summit is optional. Turning back is the right decision whenever the cloud, the wind or the light say so.
