Most hillwalkers will approach Sròn a' Choire Ghairbh from Kilfinnan near Laggan Locks, most likely bagging Meall na Teanga on the same hike and possibly taking in the nearby Corbett of Ben Tee. If not intending to head up Ben Tee, a fine alternative route that bags Sròn a' Choire Ghairbh along with Meall na Teanga begins from the Mile Dorcha, the short stretch of wooded land between the heads of Loch Garry and Loch Arkaig.
