Sgurr a' Chaorachain is an impressive mountain resting in the Applecross peninsula overlooking the upper reaches of Loch Kishorn. The eastern and southern faces of Sgurr a' Chaorachain are guarded by high cliffs and buttresses of Torridonian sandstone.

The easiest route to the summit of Sgurr a' Chaorachain begins from a viewpoint at the top of Bealach na Ba, from where a track leads to a mast and onwards over undulating grass-covered ground above Coire a' Chaorachain.

Sgurr a' Chaorachain can be combined with nearby Beinn Bhan to form a longer circular route travelling above Coire nan Arr.
