Bidean nam Bian and the Aonach Eagach are impressive mountain ranges above Glencoe that dominate the views from below whereas Sgùrr na h-Ulaidh gets but a brief passing glimpse when driving though the glen. But Sgur na h-Ulaidh is a rough mountain with a character of its own, its Munro summit guarded by crags to the north and west. Sgùrr na h-Ulaidh has one minor Munro Top - Stob an Fhuarain which lies to the north-east of the main summt, from where the long ridge Aonach Dubh a'Ghlinne aims northwards.

Sgùrr na h-Ulaidh is surrounded by other mountains and hills and although hillwalkers often bag it on its own, it makes sense to extend routes to include other summits.

Heading in from Glencoe a lovely circular route can be hiked that adds in the grass covered Corbett of Meall Lighice. Also from Glencoe and for a longer more challenging day, Bidean nam Bian can be hillwalked with Sgùrr na h-Ulaidh taking in the rugged Corbett peak of Beinn Maol Chaluim.

A fine alternative is to begin hiking from Glen Etive from where fine forestry tracks lead to another circular route (sort of) that combines Sgùrr na h-Ulaidh with Beinn Fhionnlaidh to the south.
