The Larig Ghru is a mountain pass bisecting the Cairngorm massif running roughly from The Rothiemurchus basin to the north to Deeside in the south. It formed as a glacial diffluence valley created when glaciers originating in the high corries of Baeriach, Carn Toul, and the Angel’s Peak diverged and flowed both north and south carving out the Larig Ghru.
