The conical and bouldery summit of Carn a' Chlamain sits above a vast expanse of high-level heather-clad Tarf moorland that is split by a variety of corries.

To the south-east of Carn a' Chlamain is Glen Tilt, along which most hillwalkers will approach the base of this shy Munro typically by bike. Along with the fine track up most of Carn a' Chlamain's south-west shoulder, this makes for a short outing. The day can easily be extended onto nearby Corbett of Beinn Mheadhonach or Munro of Beinn Dearg, but with a lack of paths, navigation skills will be tested !
