Standing above the head of Glen Kingie, Sgùrr an Fhuarain is a pyramidical hill with a long grass-covered ridge connecting it to its higher neighbour Sgùrr Mor

Most hillwalkers will climb Sgùrr an Fhuarain with its Munro neighbour Sgùrr Mòr from Glen Dessarry to the south. From this direction there are also options to add in another peak or two, Sgùrr Cos na Breachd-laoigh and Fraoch Bheinn being the most obvious.

A longer and more interesting approach heads in from Glen Kingie biking along a forest track to the foot of the coire between Gairich and Sgùrr an Fhuarain, from where stalkers paths travel up much of the hillsides.

An epic challenge traversing Sgùrr an Fhuarain and the peaks and ridges of the Rough Bounds of Knoydart while hiking a circular route around Loch Quoich makes for a long day - or two if you fancy a bivvi !
