Chno Dearg, Mountain summit in Lochaber, Scotland

Chno Dearg rises to 1,046 meters in height, featuring a rounded dome shape with steep crags on its eastern flank and Coire nan Cnamh to the south.

The mountain's name evolved from earlier maps showing 'Cnoc Dearg', meaning red hill, to the current 'Chno Dearg', which translates to red nut in English.

This mountain belongs to the category of Munros, the classification system for Scottish mountains exceeding 3,000 feet, central to Scottish mountaineering traditions.

The primary climbing route begins at Fersit hamlet, while an alternative path starts from Corrour railway station, connecting to Beinn na Lap and Stob Coire Sgriodain.

The northern slopes extend over five kilometers with a 750-meter vertical descent, creating natural conditions for ski mountaineering during winter months.
