Complete Cairngorms - guided walking in Scotland
Arrive: the day before the walking starts.
Day 1: This holiday wouldn’t be complete without an ascent of Cairngorm. The forces of nature have created numerous corries and hanging valleys. Our route seeks out many of these features to give a day of unending variety and interest.
Day 2: Although Ben Macdui is our 2nd highest, and a 4000 ft peak ‘to boot’, it is by no means the hardest. We make a circuit taking in the most spectacular rock and glacial scenery of the Northern Cairngorms: the famous Lairig Ghru and the Loch A’an Basin.
Day 3: The prominent peak of Carn Elrig is our target. You woun’t find a better positioned summit to view the Northern Cairngorms - the panorama is unsurpassed: native pine forest stretching to the north, mighty peaks to the south.
Day 4: It's a day off for all of us from breakfast onwards. You will have the opportunity to explore the area some more. We'll top the day off with a fantastic meal in our local restaurant, Anderson's, a few doors up the road.
Day 5: We make a traverse through Caledonian pines from Glenmore, past crofting communities, lochs and mountain backdrops of the RSPB’s Abernethy Reserve to arrive back at Fraoch Lodge.
Day 6: Glen Feshie is regarded by many as the most beautiful in the area. After walking its length we climb high to Carn Dearg Mor.
Depart: after breakfast.
