The 4 mile (6.4 km) route to the summit of Ben Wyvis starts from the car park and climbs steeply up An Cabar before heading along the main ridge to the summit. It takes most people about six hours to walk to the summit and back.
The car park is small and can fill up quickly on busy days. If you can, share a lift. There's room for a few extra cars in a layby about ΒΌ mile (400 metres) along the road.
Due to the adjacent power lines there is a height barrier at this car park with a maximum head room of 2.5m.
