| 9 km/ 5.59 miles | 880 m/ 2887.14 ft | 5 hours plus |
Buachaille Etive Beag (Little Herdsman of Etive) lies to the south of Glen Coe and to the west of Buachaille Etive Mor it's larger brother. The route takes in the two munros Stob Dubh & Stob Coire Raineach which together form a shapely ridge which is lower in altitude and an easier outing than it's celebrated neighbour Buachaille Etive Mor.
There are excellent views down to Loch Etive, and across onto Aonach Eagach.
