The Snowy Coires of Braeriach on the northern flanks of Cairngorm Mountains SCO 2307

---

Braeriach is the third highest mountain in Scotland, surpassed only by Ben Nevis and Ben Macdui. It is the highest point in the western massif of the Cairngorms, separated from the central section (containing Ben Macdui and Cairn Gorm) by the pass of the Lairig Ghru. The summit has a crescent shape, with several corries. In the north-facing corrie of Garbh Coire Mor the snow has completely melted just three times in the last century. One of the most commonly used route up Braeriach starts from Sugar Bowl car park, on the road leading the Cairn Gorm ski area. Another is fromthe east flank of Loch Morlich to the start of the Lairig Ghru then forking right to make the final ascent. SCO 2307
