Шаблон:About Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox mountain Aonach Beag is a Шаблон:Convert mountain in the Highlands of Scotland in the remote area between Loch Ericht and Loch Laggan located about Шаблон:Convert northwest of Ben Alder. Its prominence is Шаблон:Convert with its parent peak, Geal-Charn, about Шаблон:Convert to the east. In Gaelic, Aonach Beag means "little ridge" despite it being a Munro.Шаблон:Sfnp It should not be confused with the better-known Munro near Ben Nevis, also called Aonach Beag, about Шаблон:Convert to the west.

The mountain is one of a range of hills running between Loch Ossian and Loch Pattack and is itself at the convergence of three ridges. Its neighbouring peak to the west is Beinn Eibhinn which extends over a larger area although at Шаблон:Convert it is slightly less high. Between these two peaks is Lochan a'Chàrra Mhòir at the head of Choire a'Chàrra Mhòir. The shortest route of ascent starts from Corrour railway station and passes Loch Ossian youth hostal before going beside the southern shore of Loch Ossian to pass Corrour Lodge and then go up Bealach Dubh along Uisge Labhair.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp At one time the peak was often climbed after staying at Culra bothy but the bothy has since been closed. All routes involve a considerable walk-in.

The mountain lies within the Ben Alder and Aonach Beag Special Area of Conservation as an upland area of acidic scree with Alpine and subalpine calcareous grasslands. The area is very varied ecologically – the three-leaved rush, hare's-foot sedge and scorched alpine sedge are to be found near the summit. On account of the lengthy snow cover the area is exceptional for its bryophytes.
