Nevis Hill Walking Club

Sunday November 19 – Glen Nevis

Aonach Beag (1234m, Munro) — little ridge
Aonach Mor (1221m, Munro) — big ridge

This is a spectacular route with some fine views into some impressive remote corries.

On an ideal day it is possible to incorporate the eighth highest mountain in Scotland, Aonach Mor.

The name Aonach Mòr (big ridge) might suggest that the mountain is taller than its close neighbour to the south, Aonach Beag (small ridge) to which it is linked by a high bealach.

However, the names refer to the relative bulk of the mountains when seen from the glen, rather than their elevation; the summit of Aonach Mòr is 43 ft (13 m) lower than the summit of Aonach Beag.

Two alternative route options are available. One avoids a car shuttle and the second omits Aonach Mor.

15km, 1500m ascent
*16km, 1500m ascent – avoiding a car shuttle
**13km, 1220m ascent – omitting Aonach Mor
