North of Loch Cluanie, Sàil Chaorainn is a hidden Munro lurking behind mighty Sgùrr na Conbhairean to which it is connected by a long ridge. Sàil Chaorainn's long flat grass-covered summit stands above other ridges and spurs which stretch eastwards towards Ceannacroc Forest and northwards along to subsiduary tops of Càrn na Coire Mheadhoin and Tigh Mòr na Seilge.

Standing on a ridge-line, halfway between Loch Affric and Loch Cluanie, there are various approaches to Sàil Chaorainn, the most accessible of which begins from Loch Cluanie heading initially over nearby Càrn Ghluasaid and Sgùrr nan Conbhairean.

Sàil Chaorainn can also be climbed with its neighbouring tops, Tigh Mòr na Seilge and Càrn na Coire Mheadhoin along with the nearby Corbett peaks of Aonach Shasuinn and Càrn a' Choire Ghairbh, all in a fine cicular route from Glen Affric.
