Càrn Mòr Dearg (Scottish Gaelic for 'great red peak') is the ninth-highest mountain in Scotland and the British Isles, with a height of 1,220 metres (4,000 ft).

It stands a short distance northeast of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, to which it is linked by the 'Càrn Mòr Dearg arête'.

[2] Càrn Mòr Dearg is attractive to ski mountaineers and off piste skiers and boarders.

In good conditions the summit can be reached from the nearby Nevis Range Ski areas in two hours or less.

The eastern flank of the mountain has three fine bowls which give descents graded between 2 and 5 in K. Biggin's guide.
