Fraoch Bheinn is a rugged hill standing alone above the western end of Loch Arkaig. From the north or south, Fraoch Bheinn looks steep and conical, but from east or west its true shape is seen - a long ridge of a mountain, its crests rising gradually from Glen Dessarry to the south and Glen Kingie to the north.

Taken on its own, Froach Bheinn can be climbed using the stalkers tracks from Strathan to the south or following the ridge-line up Bidean Mhic Iain Ghlais from Kinbreak Bothy in Glen Kingie.

The crags on either side of Fraoch Bheinn's north-south crest have breaks, which allows access to the summit coming from west or east. Combining Fraoch Bheinn with its neighbouring Corbetts into one hiking route is therefore relatively straightforward.
