Nestled in the stunning Cairngorms National Park, Aviemore has evolved from a quiet Highland village into Scotland’s premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Known initially for its famous ski slopes, the village now offers an exhilarating range of activities year-round, thanks to top-tier providers like Craggan Outdoors, G2 Outdoor, and Mountain Innovations. These companies have helped shape Aviemore into a hub for adventure, earning accolades such as the Best Visitor Attraction in the Highlands & Islands Tourism Awards.
What makes Visit Aviemore truly special is its breathtaking natural setting. Surrounded by towering mountains, serene lochs, and ancient forests, the village provides the perfect backdrop for hiking, climbing, kayaking, and mountain biking. In winter, the slopes come alive with skiers and snowboarders, while summer attracts walkers tackling the Speyside Way or families enjoying wildlife tours. The railway’s historic role and Queen Victoria’s fondness for the Highlands further cemented Aviemore’s place on the tourist map, blending heritage with modern adventure.
Accessibility is another key advantage. Well-connected by road, rail, and bus, Aviemore welcomes visitors with a variety of accommodations—luxury hotels, cozy B&Bs, and self-catering lodges—alongside excellent eateries serving locally sourced cuisine. With year-round festivals and events, there’s always something happening, ensuring that Aviemore remains a dynamic and inviting destination for all seasons.
