Forming the high ground between Glen Callater and Glen Muick, Carn an t-Sagairt Mor is a predominantly heather and grass covered dome with two cairns on its summit. Dotted on its slopes are the remains of a RAF Canberra jet which crashed into the mountain in 1956.

Carn an t-Sagairt Mor can be approached from various points, with the shortest and most direct route starting on a fine estate track from Auchallater on the A93 a few miles south of Braemar. This route can be extended to a circular route bagging the peaks around Glen Callater, most of which is following faint paths on grass covered ground.

There are four other Munro peaks east of Carn an-Sagairt Mor, including Lochnagar and all of these can be combined to make for an excellent circular route of Munro-bagging around Loch Muick.
