Virtual Cairngorms
What's this?
Britain's largest National Park, the Cairngorms are the most extensive range of high mountains in the UK, with a vast, tundra-like wilderness at the heart of the region. This is encircled by the beautiful valleys of the River Spey and the River Dee, each passing through a beautiful landscape of Caledonian pinewoods rich in wildlife. Aviemore is the best known resort, joined by the further Spey towns of Kingussie, Newtonmore and Grantown-on-Spey. In Deeside Ballater is the main centre together with the attractive village of Braemar, whilst Balmoral Castle lies between. To the northeast are the remote but more rolling hills of Glenlivet, famous for its whisky distilleries.
The site also features a range of self-catering cottages, bed and breakfasts, hotels, and hostels.
All the featured routes are available as free QUO digital route downloads for GPS. For those who haven't yet switched to QUO, .GPX downloads are also provided.
This website is part of Walk Highlands which is an online walkers guide to a series of Scotland's Highland regions. The sites cover all types of walks from easy family rambles, through tougher, day-long, hikes to challenging mountain ascents.
