Fisherfield Round
ScramblingGrade details
Grades describe the named technical sections, not every metre of the route.
Route overview
Deep within the Letterewe wilderness, this classic round traverses some of the most remote mountains in the Highlands. Starting from Shenavall, the route tackles five Munros and one Corbett, offering unparalleled ruggedness, dramatic ridge lines, and legendary views over the Fionn Loch. It is an exceptionally demanding outing reserved for fit, self-sufficient hillwalkers seeking a true test of endurance.
Terrain and underfoot
The terrain is exceptionally rough and varied, featuring steep heather, extensive quartzite boulder fields, and narrow ridges with minor scrambling. Path quality is highly variable, with faint trails on the high plateaus and a notorious, waist-deep bog in the glen. Crucially, the route requires three major river crossings, including the Abhainn Strath na Sealga, which are dangerous or entirely impassable when water levels are high or in spate.

Driving and parking
Corrie Hallie and Shenavall
Corrie Hallie has small roadside parking for the approach into Fisherfield. The GPX circuit starts and ends at Shenavall, not at the road: its 29.7 km excludes the approach from Corrie Hallie. Keep the road, passing places and access tracks clear.
A small roadside recess at Corrie Hallie. This is approach parking, not the start of the GPX circuit at Shenavall.
- Before you go
- Shenavall bothy is unavailable from 15 September to 20 October during stag stalking. This applies to the bothy, rather than a blanket closure of the surrounding hills.
- Walking approach and return
- A workparty is scheduled for 21 to 25 October 2026 and may cause disruption at Shenavall. Check the MBA notice before depending on the bothy.
