Mountain Description
Chno Dearg is situated to the south east of Loch Treig on the high ground between the loch and Strath Ossian. It reaches a height of 1046 metres (3432 feet), thus qualifying as a Munro and a Marilyn. It is not regarded as a particularly striking hill, being described in the SMCs Munro guide as “a rounded and featureless hill”, its convex slopes giving a monotonous climb to the summit. It's lower northern slopes are notorious for being very boggy at times with numerous small streams.
Access is usually from Fersit hamlet via Creag Dubh knoll and Meall Chaorach to avoid the worst of the boggy ground. Alternatively it can be climbed from the munro Stob Coire Sgriodain on the west which is usually climbed on the same outing.
The summit of Chno Dearg give a fine viewpoint especially for the Creag Meagaidh group of hills on the northeastern side.
