It is the second highest point in the western massif of the Cairngorms, linked by a bealach at around 1125 m above sea level to Braeriach.

The mountain towers above the western side pass of the Lairig Ghru.

Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach is the highest munro on the extensive White Mounth plateau and lies in the middle of these hills. It appears as a little more than a mound when on the plateau but just ½km north from the summit is the dramatic 1093m point The Stuic (meaning Projecting Hill) which is a rocky buttress & minor summit. On the northwest there is a ridge that connects to the munro Carn an t-Sagairt Mor & on the north east is a ridge that joins to the Dark Lochnagar also muro status.

Cairn Bannoch is a small mound ehich stands at the south eastern end of The Lochnagar Hills which is a twisting ridge made up from 5 munros that rise on the western side of Loch Muick by the Spittal of Glenmuick. The summit point is marked with a large granite tor. The only real feature of the munro is nearly 1km to the east of the summit are the cliffs called Creag an Dubh Loch which rise over Dubh Loch and worth a visit event though usually out of ones way.
