This isolated hill to the north of Achnasheen is one of the most featureless and least interesting of the Munros. The slopes of Fionn Bheinn which rise on the north side of the A832 road are devoid of any interest, and the ascent from Achnasheen is little more than a pleasant stroll up this grassy hillside. Once on the summit ridge there is more character to the hill, for its northern corrie, the Toll Mor, is quite steep. On the descent it makes for a little variety to go east along the ridge of the hill to Sail an Tuim Bhain and descend a path from there to return to the A832 road at a small plantation 1 kilometre east of Achnasheen'.
