Geal-Chàrn, Mountain summit in Highland, Great Britain
Geal-Chàrn is a mountain summit in the Scottish Highlands rising to 1049 meters. The peak features a cylindrical trig point and a stone cairn marking its top.
This mountain belongs to the Beinn a' Chlachair group and has served as a navigation landmark in the Scottish Highlands for centuries. Its distinct shape made it an important reference point for travelers crossing the region.
The name Geal-Chàrn comes from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'white hill' because of how it looks covered in snow during winter. Visitors can still see this connection between the name and the mountain's snowy appearance today.
Reaching the summit requires hiking along the Allt Coire Pitridh path, with alternate routes available from Loch Pattack via Allt Cam ford. The ascent demands reasonable hill-walking experience and stable weather conditions.
Snow patches remain on the mountain year-round in certain areas, drawing researchers who study climate patterns. These persistent snow fields make the peak a natural laboratory for tracking environmental changes.
