Blaven (Bla Bheinn) and Clach Ghlas
Routes up the Munro above Loch Slapin in the Isle of Skye
Blaven is reckoned to be one of the most beautiful mountains in Scotland. It is uniquely and distinctive shaped and the views from both summits are fabulous in all directions.Main route summary
Although the routes described on this page are fairly straightforward, heading up via Clach Glas or other routes will require scrambling or possibly rock climbing and should not be underestimated.
The OS Landranger doesn't really show sufficient detail, therefore use of a 1:25000 map is advised - I would recommend the Harvey's map of the Skye Cuillin. Alternatively, hire us to guide you !
