Nice gravel route

Tip by

20.3 km

The Old Logging Way is a moderate off-road route leading through the unique landscape of the Cairngorms landscape.
The route leads from Aviemore to Glenmore and the beautiful Loch Morlich and back to the smaller but no less beautiful Loch Eilein. Loch Morlich has very nice sandy beaches and a water sports centre, where you can hire kayaks or boats to explore the water. In summer, the lake is a great place for a break during your cycle tour. From Aviemore to Glenmore, the route is also suitable for cycle-experienced children. The off-road path is well-maintained and the distance is manageable even for the smaller ones. Th route from Loch Morlin to Loch Eilein is more adventurous and challenging.

Dalfaber Road (NCN 7)

Highlight • Trail

Part of NCN 7, Dalfaber Road is a quiet narrow road running on the east side of the railway. It's a much quieter alternative than the busy High Street on the other side of the tracks.

Speyside Way: Aviemore to Boat of Garten

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

An extremely tranquil, pretty and (rare in the region) mostly flat trail, the Speyside Way extends much further than this section. This is a particularly scenic part though; plenty of wildlife and vegetation, a good smooth path and great views.

Old Packhorse Bridge, Carrbridge

Highlight • Bridge

The beautiful old bridge is not far from the parking lot. Connected with a circular path, it goes along the river and back through the forest.
