Little Beinn Bheag is a shy Fiona/Graham hill lying just west of its higher neighbour Groban, the pair forming grassy outliers between Fisherfield and the Fannichs.

Several approaches lead to their base of Beinn Bheag and Groban - from Incheril via the Heights of Kinlochewe, from Corrie Hallie towards Loch an Nid, or most directly from Loch a’ Bhraoin, where the estate track provides the easiest cycle-in.

Unless approaching from the west, Beinn Bheag is gained by hiking up gentle grassy slopes. OS maps curiously mark Beinn Bheag as having different tops of equal height each marked by a cairn, with the westerly cairn offering the finer outlook.

The panorama from the summit takes in Slioch, Fisherfield and Torridon as well as a particularly fine view down over Loch an Nid towards An Teallach.
