Glencoe

as some of the pictures show the valley
is at its best in good winter snow

 

Glencoe is made up of a famous valley with the Aonach Eagach to it's north and a complex range of peaks to the south.

the southern peaks are made up of two ridges to the east (Buachaille Etive Mor & Buachaille etive Beag) as well as isolated peaks to the west such as Sgor na ulaidh.

the main area of Glencoe consits of the three peaks known as the "three sisters" (Aonach Dubh, Gearr Aonach, & Beheinn Fhadda.) The first two link to the winter playground of Stob Coire nan Lochan which in turn links to the main high ridge.
the main ridge links the two Munro's of Stob Coire Sgreamhach & Bidean nam Bian as well as several other peaks.

to the west it links Stob Coire nam Beith and An-t-sron,
to the north it links Stob Coire nan Lochan
and to the east to the "third sister" of Beheinn Fhadda

 

 
The famous lost valley lies between Beheinn Fhadda and Gearr Aonach and ends at the headwall between Stob Coire Sgreamhach & Bidean nam Bian.
at the end of the lost valley there is often a steep snow slope of around grade one.

this links the valley to the belach between Stob Coire Sgreamhach & Bidean nam Bian
