About this walk
Meall a' Choire Leith and Meall Corranaich is a moderate 10.6 km circular walk with 770 m of ascent, taking 3.5 to 5 hours. It starts at Lochan na Lairige road (grid reference NN 595 411). It climbs 2 listed hills, the highest Meall Corranaich at 1,067 m.
These two Munros are often overlooked next to Ben Lawers, but the high start on the Lochan na Lairige road makes them a pleasant shorter day.
The route crosses the moor to Meall a' Choire Leith, then follows the broad ridge south to Meall Corranaich before dropping back to the road. Both summits are grassy and easy-angled, but navigation in mist needs care.
