Sgurr na Ciche

Facility information

A witch-hat satellite on the edge of Knoydart, this impressive mountain sits between Loch Nevis and Loch Shiel. Difficult to get to, impressive to look at and home to few paths, this is a peak that provides a perfect antidote to the busier peaks of the east.

Best route: the easiest approach is from the road head near Loch Arisaig. The best aspect on the mountain is from Druim a’ Ghoirten (NM895962) where you can appreciate the meaning of its name: ‘peak of the breast’.
