Fuar Tholl stands at the head of Strath Carron, but only shows its more interesting side to those who venture into Coire Lair.
The most direct route up Fuar Tholl is from Loch Dughaill in Strath Carron, but this is a fairly tedious approach with no paths to follow.
A more enjoyable route is to take a there-and-back detour from the Beinn Liath Mhor - Sgorr Ruadh circuit which starts from Achnashellach.
