On Foot

Walking in Aviemore is one of the most popular activities with so much of the Cairngorms National Park to explore on the doorstep. The sheer size, scale and remoteness of the Cairngorms make them one of the most dramatic and harsh mountain environments in Britain, a challenge to even the most seasoned hillwalkers.

From exploring the area on horse back, getting to grips with heights on a high ropes course, quad biking through forest tracks and over moors, trying to stay balanced and going forward on a segway, imagining yourself in the world of Robin Hood practicing your archery skills, going into battle (with paintballs), getting the adrenaline flowing on a clay pigeon shoot or zipping through the trees on a zip wire, orienteering your way around the countryside and fishing on the Spey and many local lochs, Aviemore really is a mecca for the active person of all ages.
