Aviemore is Scotland's premier mountain resort, sitting in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park surrounded by dramatic Highland scenery. Winter brings skiing and snowboarding on Cairn Gorm mountain, while summer offers hill walking, mountain biking, and watersports on nearby lochs. The Strathspey Steam Railway runs vintage trains through beautiful scenery, while the town itself provides accommodation, restaurants, and outdoor shops. Wildlife watching opportunities include reindeer, ospreys, and if you're lucky, wildcats in the ancient Caledonian pine forests.
