Cycled in from road end at Glen Calvie. Left bike at high point on track just before it drops down to the two holiday lodges then up ATV track to top of peat hag capped Leitir Riabhach. Followed the line of deer fence down to southern end of outflow from Loch An Tuill Riabhaich avoiding worst of the peat hags. Then up the SE nose and final steep but easy ascent to summit. | Jossker | 30/09/2023 |
As willyross but no eagles! Rough track in places, but overall ok. Signs indicate walkers welcome nowadays. | iangalbraith | 15/05/2023 |
From the Glen Calvie car park, tracks to Alladale Lodge and cottages before ascent via Carn Alladale and then along ridge to summit. Gate in deer fence is now free of any padlocks! Descent by open slopes over Leathad nan Con Dearga to good track below the waterfall. | benalder284 | 02/04/2022 |
Bike 'n hike from Alladale | Huwel | 20/12/2021 |
As per the SMC Grahams book. From the Glen Calvie car park along the track to past the 1st holiday cottage (cross the river) then turn right up an ATV track just past the generator building. ATV track takes nicely up onto ridge at which point it disappeared. Up onto Carn Alladale summit then followed ridge all the way around to the summit. Various ups and downs, crossed the deer fence by climbing the gate. Sign is still there to say lock number is 1111 but it is still rusted and impossible to open. From the summit descended back to the right of the small loch then down over Leathad nan Con Dearga to meet the good track at the bottom below the waterfall. Back along the track. 13.5 miles 22km, Strava said 5hrs 41 moving time but was out for just under 7hrs in total. Nice walk. | JulieB | 13/08/2021 |
Cycled from the road end car park past Alladale Lodge then west, then north along estate track to NH385911 (approx 9.5km). Walked in north-easterly direction to summit. Eagles soaring, and ptarmigan on snowy ground. Back via south top. | willyross | 01/04/2021 |
A lovely walk from Glencalvie Lodge. Alladale is simply stunning, beautiful native trees, and glorious hills above. Easily up the ATV track from the generator building but less easy once it peters out. Watch out for tree planting holes. Carn Alladale has good views but rough going, wobbly rocks and manky vegetables. Deer fence at the bealach to the NW has a gate with the number for the padlock but the padlock is rusted shut, so climb the gate. Nice easy going to Carn a' Choin Deirg S Top and onwards to the main summit. The views are just wow. Down via Easan Dubh is rough lower down. The mapped path is an estate road. The estate was very helpful when I emailed them about deer stalking so they get a big thumbs up. | Gill | 23/09/2020 |
All the (sub)Simms from Carn Alladale, then back down the execrably rough valley of the Allt Riabhach. | Jon F | 13/08/2020 |
From Glencalvie car park along track to first lodge then up ATV track by game larder to Carn Alladale, and along ridge to summit. Good visibility and fine views of all Coigach and Assent hills. Return same route. | MichaelF | 21/07/2019 |

Parked at Glencalve, mountain bike to below crags of Carn Alladale, walked to end of track for an easy ascent. Went down to the 2 lodges NH 425895 which was tough going. | rogreeves | 04/07/2018 |
Great ridge, fantastic views from the top. | nicolajane | 04/06/2018 |
Recognized parking is at NH 4644 8913, but eventually parked 7km along the track at NH 4031 89420 after deep snow prevented further driving. Progressed to track end then near enough direct route to the top. On to the South Top. With Carole Engel. | jonglew | 02/04/2018 |

Cycled from the road end CP up past Alladale Lodge and down to old bothy area. Up easily onto Sron Alladale using quad tracks most the way. Then along rifge to main summit. Beag and down past lochan into burn line where vehicle tracks got us all the way back to bikes. | nordicstar | 26/07/2016 |

From former bothy past Alladale Lodge (on bike). Including the two tops to south of main summit. A terrible day for weather, strong wind, wintery showers/rain/sleet. Returned by good track to west to get out of wind. | dickscroop | 20/03/2015 |

Ascended from Croich, walking through the forest and then following ridge in north west direction. | JohnW | 16/06/2008 |
Revisit. Fine bare stony summit, fine views. Late pm circuit from Glencalvie road-end, horseshoe taking in Carn Alladale, the NE top and the 557m summit. Accidentally descended to Alladale Lodge! 8pm luckily no-one about, and the Lodge seemed empty. | RHW | 03/05/2008 |
I asked at Alladale Lodge where there would be shooting today. I didn't mind which hills I did. I was told that there would be shooting on all the hills but I could have a nice walk up Strath Cuileannach past Croick church or go up to Loch an Tuill Riabhaich and over to the church. I decided to do his suggestion but divert to the top of this hill on the way over. | Alan Moore | 21/09/2005 |
from S top. a section of all stones and another of clinging moss on stones and final stepped section typical of high altitude prevailing wind/snow with stones at top of each step up. To top at 13.00. Strong NW wind. Square trig with no FB plate built in. | arranc | 26/06/2005 |
