Opis
Discover the Cairngorms National Park on a day trip from Inverness. Hike through ancient forests, spot wildlife, and visit the Loch Garten Nature Reserve.
Begin your day with a journey south to Aviemore, Scotland’s premier hub for outdoor adventure. After a brief stop here, venture deeper into the heart of the Cairngorms to Allt Mor, where your hike begins.
Meet your experienced mountain leader at the Allt Mor car park for a hike. Wander through ancient Caledonian pine forest and gaze in wonder at An Lochan Uaine - the Green Lochan. If you’re lucky, you might even spot some wildlife, such as ospreys, eagles, and red squirrels.
On the way to Glenmore Visitor Centre, your guide will share stories of local folklore, history, and geology. If time allows, visit a traditional Scottish bothy - a simple mountain shelter once used by shepherds and now a welcoming refuge for hill walkers.
Rejuvenated after your hike and with your camera full of nature’s wonders, return to Aviemore for a well-deserved lunch. The town’s main street offers quality cafés serving delicious seasonal produce in a warm, vibrant atmosphere.
Next, visit the remarkable Loch Garten Nature Reserve, a true hidden gem that played a vital role in saving the osprey from extinction in Scotland. Nestled within an ancient Caledonian pine forest, it’s a peaceful haven for ospreys, red squirrels, and a wide variety of other wildlife.
Back on the mini-coach, relax after a day of outdoor exploration, wildlife spotting, and discovering the rich heritage of the Scottish Highlands before returning to Inverness.
