Steep Alternative Trail in Cairngorms National Park

Highlight • Trail

Start of an alternative path to the top. Be careful, it is very steep and in places poorly paved. But in return you get a picturesque trail with a great view.

Craigellachie Summit – View of Lochan Dubh and Cairngorms

Highlight • Summit

Amazing views from the top would definitely recommend. It's great how close it is to Aviemore and that you can get such great views without actually going up a mountain. Can be boggy in parts so wear appropriate footwear!

Steep Section

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Slippery when wet. Steep and with steps, the narrow path is better climbed than descended.
