help Coire Raibeirt FAQ
Where is Coire Raibeirt?
Coire Raibeirt lies on the northeastern face of Cairn Gorm in Scotland's Cairngorms. Its drainage leads toward Loch Avon, also written Loch A'an.
What is a corrie?
A corrie is a steep-sided bowl carved into a mountain by glacier ice. Coire Raibeirt is one of the high corries of Cairn Gorm, so its shape belongs to the glacial history of the Cairngorm plateau.
Can I reach Loch Avon from Coire Raibeirt?
The corrie drains toward Loch Avon, but that does not mean every approach is a simple direct path. Loch Avon is a remote high loch in the Cairngorms, so route choice and mountain conditions matter.
Is Coire Raibeirt on Cairn Gorm or Liathach?
It is on Cairn Gorm, on the mountain's northeastern face. Coire na Caime, by contrast, is the corrie associated with Liathach in Torridon.
