The Barn Café

Highlight • Cafe

It is best to go there early in the day when it is not so crowded. Nice team and good selection, dogs are welcome, as is often the case. From here you can start your tour in the forest well strengthened.

Rothiemurchus bus stop (Bus 30)

Highlight • Settlement

Good starting point for hikes to Loch An Eilein for hikers without a car. Can be reached in a few minutes by bus number 30 from Aviemore. On the way back, don't be surprised: there is no bus stop, you have to "flag" the bus using hand signals.

Aviemore town centre

Highlight • Rest Area

Aviemore is one of Britain's adventure capitals, thanks to the Cairngorm Mountain ski resort, the nearby national outdoor centre at Glenmore Lodge and the sensational hiking and mountaineering found in the Cairngorms, which contain five of Britain's six highest mountains.

For hikers, utilising the ski resort’s base station means that you can start from 2,083 feet (635 m), giving you quicker access to the giant Munros of the Cairngorm Plateau, the UK's only sub-Arctic wilderness.

The town itself has a unique character: part Highland charm, part ski resort chic. Its atmosphere is infectious year-round. There's a wealth of accommodation, many gear shops, good amenities and lots of places to eat and drink.
