Tucked behind the bulk of Creag Meagaidh and only just glimpsed from Glen Spean below, Stob Poite Coire Ardair sits at the western end of a long ridge that runs above Coire Ardair. Stob Poite Coire Ardair's summit overlooks 'The Window' - a narrow and often windy bealach between itself and Creag Meagaidh.

Below Stob Poite Coire Ardair to the south are the SNH buildings at Aberarder (see this for more info), with notice-boards and information on the geology and wildlife. This is the most popular access point for Stob Poite Coire Ardair, as the ground to the north is wild and remote.

At the eastern end of the ridge that Stob Poite Coire Ardair sits on is Càrn Liath and most hillwalkers tend to bag these two Munros together. Adding in Creag Meagaidh with these peaks makes for a fine circuit with options of returning through Coire Ardair or staying high over Puist Coire Ardair for long-lasting views. For keen Munro-baggers, and if transport can be arranged between start and finish points, extending this route further to include nearby Beinn a'Chaorainn and Beinn Teallach make for an excellent long day's hiking !
