North of Loch Cluanie, Sail Chaorainn is a hidden Munro lurking behind mighty Sgurr na Conbhairean to which it is connected by a long ridge. Sail 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 Carn na Coire Mheadhoin and Tigh Mor na Seilge.

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

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