Creise

About Creise

Creise is a long, fairly flat ridge in the Black Mount, overlooking the northern end of Glen Etive. Its highest point had no name until 1981.

The steep, craggy northern buttress, Sron na Creise, is the feature most people see, prominent from the A82 and the Kings House Hotel. Creise is one of four Black Mount Munros alongside Meall a' Bhuiridh, Stob Ghabhar and Stob a' Choire Odhair, and its proximity to the White Corries ski area makes it a draw for cross-country skiers as well as walkers, who often pair it with Meall a' Bhuiridh.

One place to eat or drink within 10 km of the summit, rated under the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (Scotland runs its own Food Hygiene Information Scheme, a pass/fail equivalent).

Classifications and ratings are the local authority's own and can be coarse — this is a lead, not a guarantee of opening hours or that food is served to non-residents. Follow a name through to the official rating page to check, and confirm before you rely on it.

The Creise group

2 other listed summits sit in the same prominence group, with Creise as the independent hill at its head.

Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
