The most straightforward way to get here is to walk or mountain bike from the Forestry Commission Scotland car park at the end of the public road in Glen Affric.

Glen Affric is served by a bus from Beauly running three days a week (July–Sept).

There are also walking routes from Morvich and Cluanie – the latter being very boggy and indistinct.
