Sgùrr Chòinnich Mor, with its subsiduary peak Sgùrr Chòinnich Beag, sit at the western end of the Grey Corries - a twisting ridge linking four Munros above Spean Bridge.

Sgùrr Chòinnich Mòr is a fairly remote Munro in the wild land. On its own, the finest approach is from the head of Glen Nevis, following the Steall path. However, Sgùrr Chòinnich Mòr is best bagged with the other peaks in the Grey Corries - some superb ridge walking on high ground obove crags and corries.

Sgùrr Chòinnich Mòr's summit is a narrow grass-covered crest sitting above shattered rock. Its north-eastern shoulder links to the other peaks in the Grey Corries range, its western shoulder links to the Aonachs and onwards to Càrn Mòr Dearg and Ben Nevis.
