Chno 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.
Chno 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.
