Sgòr Gaibhre and Càrn Dearg are the two Munros south of Loch Ossian, connected by a long, wide, grassy ridge. Sgòr Gaibhre's northern Munro Top, Sgòr Choinnich, shares its dome-like shape and grassy surface, though both lack distinctive features.

Perhaps the most rewarding way to climb Sgòr Gaibhre is by completing a circuit around Loch Ossian from Corrour Train Halt. This scenic route also takes in Beinn na Lap and Càrn Dearg.

Alternatively, for those keen on incorporating some cycling, Sgòr Gaibhre and Càrn Dearg can be ascended from near Rannoch Station using estate tracks that have seen significant improvement in recent years. This route can also be extended to include the nearby Corbett, Meall na Meoig.
