About Glen Coe Munros
Glen Coe is the most famous mountain valley in Scotland, and its peaks live up to the reputation. Bidean nam Bian, the highest summit in Argyll, presides over a complex arrangement of ridges and hidden corries. The Aonach Eagach, the narrow ridge on the glen's north side, is the most exposed scramble on any Munro in mainland Scotland.
The geology here is volcanic — ancient lavas and rhyolites that have been carved into dramatic shapes by glaciation. The Buachaille Etive Mor, standing sentinel at the eastern entrance to the glen, is one of the most photographed mountains in Britain. Every peak here has character: the rock is good, the ridges are sharp, and the views down into the glen are consistently magnificent.
Highlights: The Aonach Eagach is Scotland's narrowest mainland ridge. Buachaille Etive Mor is an iconic Scottish mountain.
