Winter Walking in the Cairngorms

Cairngorms National Park

The Cairngorms National Park, Scotland's second National Park and the UK's largest, covers one of the most spectacular landscapes in the UK, forged by glaciers over 10,000 years ago. This stunning area covers a diverse range of topography, from wild arctic tundra on the high mountains to ancient pinewoods - surviving parts of the once extensive Caledonian Forest, lower down in the glens.

Moderate Walks

The extensive path networks in the glens and forests surrounding the high Cairngorms make this area perfect for relaxing walks. Marked trails lead through woods, moors and by rivers and lochs, often with views of the surrounding mountains.
