[2] It is a long elongated mountain with a NW-SE orientation, its summit ridge is impressive, barely dropping below the 700 m (2,300 ft) contour in its 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) length.

Strong hill walkers can climb Baosbheinn with the adjacent Corbett of Beinn an Eoin which stands across Loch na h-Oidhche and gives a demanding circular walk of 21 km (13 mi) which takes between six and nine hours.

Baosbheinn has one noteworthy geological feature: it being the site of the largest and most impressive protalus rampart[6] in Great Britain.

The rampart is situated at the NW end of the ridge below the crags of Creag an Fithich at a height of around 450 m (1,480 ft).

[7] The north west end of Baosbheinn where the protalus rampart is situated has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest over an area of 39,000,000 m².
