                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Often regarded as a boggy hike in summer but with an outstanding viewpoint over to the Torridon and far north west mountains. This single Munro makes for a great day on the hills in winter with a few short and steep sections throughout but lots of great gradient as you traverse over the moor.
                                                                                                                                                                                                         You must have previous winter hiking experience with crampons and ice axe or have been on a winter skills course with use of crampons and ice axe.
                                                                                                                                                                                       What the day includes -
Meeting at Achnasheen in the morning we will start our hike from here, with our summit out of view just now we will pull up quite steeply to start as we make our way onto the vast moorland. From here we will cross over the moor and make our way towards our summit.
A gentle gradient pulls us up onto the ridge line where the views open out and the character of this mountain starts to show.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                           A short distance we will soon reach the summit of Fionn Bheinn and hopefully take in the spectacular summit views.
After a break and bite to eat we will retrace our steps the way we came.
