This very undistinguished hill, rising in isolation on the north-west side of Loch Ossian, is one of the easiest Munros to climb, although it may need a journey on the West Highland Railway to reach it. Corrour Halt on the West Highland Railway, which is the most popular point of approach, is at an altitude of about 400 metres, so there is little more than 540 metres of ascent. Walk east along the track from the station and go round the head of Loch Ossian near the youth hostel. Leave the track on the north side of the loch and climb north-east up featureless slopes to the summit.
An alternative approach to Loch Ossian can be made by bicycle along the forest roads starting either at Fersit at the north end of Loch Treig or at Luiblea in Glen Spean. These roads lead to Strath Ossian and the north-east end of Loch Ossian, from where the ascent can be made.
