Chnò Dearg
Chnò Dearg is the higher of the two Munro peaks east of Loch Treig. Domed in shape, the vast grassy slopes to the north hide its wilder south-facing crags.

Chnò Dearg is a high dome-shaped mountain dominating the views southwards when driving along Glen Spean. Its slopes are grass covered and rise gently from the mass of planted forestry in the glen.
Chnò Dearg is linked to its smaller Munro neighbour Stob Coire Sgriodain via a grassy wide ridge travelling westwards. Often bagged together, the most straightforward access point to these Munros is Fersit to the north, just off the A86.
