With estate tracks leading up from forestry and farmland surrounding Little Garve, the easiest approaches are from this direction and are well signposted.

To make a more interesting day out, a fine option would to be to extend the route over to the mighty massiff of nearby Ben Wyvis, though this may leave a long roadside walk at the end of the day.

The first tìme I headed up Little Wyvis, this hill couldn't be accessed from the south-west due to deer farming (fortunately with change of estate ownership, this situation is no longer the case). So we started from the Ben Wyvis car-park and ended up having an epic day out trudging over heather to get to Little Wyvis, then bounding over more heather to head over to Ben Wyvis and bagged the summit and all the minor tops (including the 'deleted tops').
