The most popular ascent of Meall na Teanga is from the top of the Cam Beallach pass; from here an ascent of the adjacent Sròn a' Choire Ghairbh can also be made. The Cam Beallach can be approached from the south from the car park at the Cia-aig waterfall on the B8005 at grid reference , however the approach from the north-east starting at Laggan Locks just off the A82 at grid reference is now more popular, now that the track to the pass through the South Laggan Forest has been cleared of logging debris by the Forestry Commission. A more interesting ascent from the Cia-aig waterfall can be undertaken by climbing the hill's western ridge from the head of Gleann Cia-aig; this route gives the opportunity to appreciate the corries on that ridge. The summit is marked by a cairn of boulders and gives views across the Great Glen towards the Grey Corries, the Aonachs and Ben Nevis.
