About this walk
Seana Bhràigh from Inverlael is a hard 31.5 km out-and-back walk with 1,580 m of ascent, taking 10 to 13.5 hours. It starts at Inverlael, A835 (grid reference NH 182 853). It climbs Seana Bhraigh (926 m), a Munro.
Seana Bhràigh is one of the most remote Munros, a broad plateau that ends suddenly in steep cliffs above Luchd Choire. From Inverlael, the route follows tracks and stalkers' paths far into the hills.
The final approach crosses the plateau to the summit on the cliff edge. Return the same way. Very remote: there's no mobile signal for much of the route, and help is a long way off.
