Standing south of Loch Laggan, this Geal Charn, whose name means 'white hill', is a big, sprawling mountain best known for its neat summit cone. A large cairn sits next to the trig point on top. Most of the hill is grassy and fairly featureless, but its hidden north-east side has crags that can catch walkers out in mist.
