The Cairngorm Massif is a true Mountain region much of it over 900 m and average windspeed in excess of over 28 mph; with Arctic weather, challenging hikes, skiing, Summer sunshine and Munros aplenty. The ancient Caledonian forest covers the lower reaches of the slopes with lochs and rivers to follow. From Braemar in the East to Aviemore in the West this challenging area can be crossed using the old cattle droving roads and Military roads round the edges. There are famous paths to follow like the SE to NW Lairig Ghru and now on the Cairngorm Mountain itself from the top of the lifts. There are watersports on the River Spey or Loch Morlich and National Mountain centres at Glenmore Lodge and Lagganlie Outdoor centre. Rothiemurchus Lodge is also a charity run centre for the Armed forces and educational organisations located at the N Western end of the Lairig Ghru set amidst the Caledonian forest.. Parking is good everywhere you might want to start your walks from though if you are not a good navigator walks can get very long if you miss your exit return route! The main parking area is at the base of the funicular to the top of Cairngorm Mountain itself.The local Mountain Rescue teams are very experienced and friendly if you need advice. Do your research before arriving and you will enjoy this haven which will show you a new face to the mountains every time you return.

Beautiful views. Fun funicular. Looks like it would be great for skiing. Nice restaurant and bar area to fill up and warm up in winter or cool down and fill up during summer.
