Aviemore
Set at the foot of the Cairngorms, on the fringes of the Cairngorm National Park, Aviemore is, above all else, the base camp of a year-round paradise for outdoor sports enthusiasts. Skiing in the winter, climbing and walking in the hills, biking through the ancient pine forests, are all augmented by the spectacular natural surroundings.
The town itself offers a wide range of visitor accommodation, from hostels to the Macdonald Leisure complex, plus specialist sports, whisky and souvenir shops and lots of places to eat.
A ride on the Funicular Railway offers breathtaking views of an unforgettable landscape.
