Blà Bheinn, known to some as Blaven is a Munro with a height of 929 metres (3,048 ft) above sea level. The normal route of ascent for walkers is from the east, but there are other options too, including traversing the Clach Glas ridge which links to the Red Cuillin peaks.

Its name is thought to mean "blue mountain", derived from a combination of Norse and Gaelic and its summit provides stunning views. The area is owned and managed since 1994 by the John Muir Trust. With its rocky composition, impressive height and beautiful scenery, Blà Bheinn truly is a special mountain for experienced hikers.
