About Aviemore
Aviemore has become Britain’s premier ski resort, benefiting from the semi-permanent snow covering on the nearby mountains. The town’s importance as a mountain resort has led to the development of a number of facilities which one might not expect from a town of its size: a wide range of accommodation, a supermarket, countless shops selling skiing and walking related merchandise, a go-karting track, a swimming pool, and so on. A nearby funicular, the Cairn Gorm Mountain Railway, will take skiers and sightseers to within a short distance of the summit of Cairn Gorm mountain (4082 feet). Two important walking routes, to Braemar through the Lairig Ghru Pass and the Speyside Way (a 65 mile path to the coast at Buckie), provide challenges for even experienced walkers, whilst some of Britain’s clearest waters provide a draw for anglers. All in all, Aviemore is Scotland’s mountain resort par excellence.
