Mighty Beinn a' Ghlo is a complex mountain range of crests and peaks, with Càrn nan Gabhar being the most northern and highest Munro summit.

Starting from above Blair Atholl, fine estate tracks and recently upgraded paths make for easy access to the base of Càrn nan Gabhar. Most hillwalkers will hike up Càrn nan Gabhar with the other Munro summits in the Beinn a' Ghlo range on a superb high-level route that follows faint paths on twisting crests.

For scree-runners, there's the joy of detouring down a descent of Airgiod Bheinn, a minor summit at the south-west end of Càrn nan Gabhar's crest.
