Meall Gorm sits on the main Fannichs ridge, and its best side is the north-east, where four corries line up along the flank, each holding its own lochan. The top has a cairn, with a rocky outcrop just to the north that's the true high point. Most people climb it from the Dirrie More as part of a round of the eastern Fannichs with Sgùrr Mòr, though it can also be reached from the south by cycling to Fannich Lodge.
