Mullach Fraoch-choire

Mullach Fraoch-choire is a mountain in the Northwest Highlands that rises to approximately 1,100 meters with a narrow rocky ridge forming the approach. The summit is reached by traversing exposed terrain marked by steep drops and scattered rock formations along the northern route.

The mountain formed during the last ice age through geological processes that shaped the Scottish Highlands. These ancient formations have dominated this landscape for thousands of years.

Scottish mountaineers recognize this peak as a Munro, part of the traditional list of mountains above 3,000 feet in Scotland.

Access to the summit is available from two starting points: Glen Affric Youth Hostel at Alltbeithe or the A87 road near Cluanie Inn. The climb demands good fitness and experience with mountainous terrain.

During winter when snow and ice accumulate, the final half-kilometer ridge becomes a technical winter climbing route. This seasonal transformation attracts ice climbers seeking cold-weather challenges.
