Standing in the Fisherfield wilderness, Sgùrr Bàn is a domed-shaped mountain, and as its name suggests, with most of its higher slopes being covered in white quartzite boulders.

As with all of the Munro peaks in Fisherfield, the most straightforward approach to Sgùrr Bàn begins at Corrie Hallie by Dundonnell, from where a rough track heads into the wilderness. The use of a bike can be made on this track to reach the dilapidated building at Achnegie, north-east of Sgùrr Bàn.

In dry conditions, a fine alternative approach begins from Loch a' Bhraoin to the west of Braemore Junction and reaches Loch an Nid, above which Sgùrr Bàn's white quartzite slabs can be ascended.
