Cheers for the information
Thanks for the feed back. I'll integrate it into the route details.

A fine walk - however...
It should be noted by parties wishing to follow this route that in full winter conditions the narrow Mullach Fraoch-choire ascent ridge outlined here becomes very technical, corniced and exposed (similar difficulty to Am Fasarinen crest on Liathach). Winter climbing experience up to grade II advised as the easy traverse path around the rocky towers is unlikely to be visible or safe.

Details for: Glen Affric and Kintail
The rough peaks of Knoydart give way to the less wild and rocky, but no less steep peaks of Kintail, and further north in Glen Affric the character of the mountains is very different, many of them being higher and more expansive, with broad ridges and relatively gentle slopes.
The Five Sisters of Kintail, of which only three are Munros, are splendid peaks in the south-west corner of this area, rising in a single sweep above Loch Duich and the foot of Glen Shiel. To their east, and forming a continuation of the same high ridge, are three more Munros - Saileag, Sgurr a'Bhealaich Dheirg and Aonach Meadhoin - which together with the Five Sisters form a chain of peaks which is at least the equal of the South Glen Shiel ridge on the opposite side of the glen.
There is another similar range on the north side of Loch Cluanie. Ciste Dhubh is an isolated peak, to its east a'Chralaig and Mullach Fraoch-choire form a high ridge above Cluanie Inn and further east Sgurr nan Conbhairean and its two neighbours, Sail Chaorainn and Carn Ghluasaid, lie in a semicircle round the head of the River Doe. The mountains on the north side of Glen Affric start in the east with the modest Toll Creagach and its more impressive neighbour Tom a'Choinich.
A few kilometres west are the great twin mountains, Mam Sodhail and Carn Eighe, which are the highest north of the Great Glen, with their outliers Beinn Fhionnlaidh and An Socach. At the head of Glen Affric, Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan is one of the biggest mountains in Scotland, in terms of its area if not its height. It is a sprawling massif of many ridges, corries and peaks, including its outlying Munro, Mullach na Dheiragain. Finally, between the head of Glen Affric and Loch Duich is Beinn Fhada, well named the long hill, and its northern satellite a'Ghlas-bheinn.

Bonjour
Petite info pour ceux qui ne l’auraient pas vu, je vous recommande le dernier hors-série du journal Le Monde. Chaque année il publie un atlas thématique, et celui de 2012 n’est pas sans lien avec notre Mouvement : L’atlas des utopies.
