Hill Walking

Hill Walking in The Cairngorms National Park

Scotland has always offered quality walking and centred in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park Aviemore is ideally situated to access some of the most spectacular mountain scenery the Highlands has to offer. From the valley floors to the ‘tops’ the challenge is ever changing, together with the wonderful flora and fauna and panoramic views. This is an exhilarating and satisfying experience allowing the walker access to sights and sounds previously undiscovered. The walk that you followed in the summer will appear quite different when visited in winter and will call for totally different skills.

Many local outdoor activity providers cater for a wide range of mountain skills courses taking in navigation and rope work to short or long days guided walks throughout the winter or summer and can also advise you on suitable equipment and clothing – a very important factor, given the speed at which the Scottish weather can change!
