Sgurr Finnisg-aig (Nevis Range)

 31 May 2023

Where: Sgurr Finnisg-aig, 663m/2174', P37m, Tump, OS 41, NN 189 762

An easy day today- up the Gondola at Nevis Range and walk firstly to the Tump, Sgurr Finnisg-aig and then the viewpoint of Meall Beag, both on good paths. First trip on the Gondola, although I think that I once went up on a previous chair lift. Nice and cool at 2,000' and as I went in the morning I missed the worst of the crowds. It certainly got busy from about lunch time onwards. Sgurr Finnisg-aig and a Gondola car from the Nevis Range car park.....

Going up.....

Sgurr Finnisg-aig from the upper station.....

Summit rock.....

Looking to Fort William and Loch Eil from the summit.....

Looking to Carn Mor Dearg and Ben Nevis from the summit.....

Upper station and Sgurr Finnisg-aig from the path to Meall Beag.....



Meall Beag was the better viewpoint, especially for Carn Mor Dearg and because it was closer to Fort William and Loch Eil. It was also much less crowded that the Sgurr Finnisg-aig path and top......


Going back down.....

Well worth a visit, even if you're not bagging Tumps. Bit it needs a clear day, which I got.
