Aviemore town centre

Highlight • Rest Area

Aviemore is one of Britain's adventure capitals, thanks to the Cairngorm Mountain ski resort, the nearby national outdoor centre at Glenmore Lodge and the sensational hiking and mountaineering found in the Cairngorms, which contain five of Britain's six highest mountains.

For hikers, utilising the ski resort’s base station means that you can start from 2,083 feet (635 m), giving you quicker access to the giant Munros of the Cairngorm Plateau, the UK's only sub-Arctic wilderness.

The town itself has a unique character: part Highland charm, part ski resort chic. Its atmosphere is infectious year-round. There's a wealth of accommodation, many gear shops, good amenities and lots of places to eat and drink.

Old Logging Way, Rothiemurchus

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The path leading from Aviemore to Rothiemurchas is pleasant and you are surrounded by woodland. This section runs away from the road in places.

Rothiemurchus Forest

Highlight • Trail

The vast Rothiemurchus Forest sprawls across the lower flanks of the Northern Cairngorms and is one of the largest areas of natural forest in Britain. The walking here is superb, with stunning scenery, vibrant and rare wildlife and glorious peace and quiet. There are also plenty of activities on the Rothiemurchus Estate, like quad biking, archery, clay shooting and a tree-top assault course.

The Barn Café

Highlight • Cafe

It is best to go there early in the day when it is not so crowded. Nice team and good selection, dogs are welcome, as is often the case. From here you can start your tour in the forest well strengthened.
