Cairngorms Walking Guide by Walk Highlands

Cairngorms from Rothiemurchus Forest Ruthven Barracks, Kingussie Leaving Glen Luibeg Summit of Sgor Gaoith On the Braeriach plateau

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 of which passes through a beautifully forested landscape rich in wildlife.

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, airy mountain ascents.
