What to do and see in Aviemore, Scotland: The Best Hiking & Camping Tours

We deliver all forms of summer and winter mountaineering in the Cairngorms National Park. This includes guiding and skills courses for winter walking skills, ski touring/ backcountry skiing, mixed/winter/ice climbing, rock climbing, ridge scrambling and hill walking. We also offer canoe coaching and guiding. We are highly qualified and experienced guides who know the area well. We cater for all levels of abilities and aspirations, including individuals, families, stag & hen parties, university mountaineering clubs and hill walking clubs.

We provide hiking and mountain biking tours across the Highlands of Scotland, but often based in the Cairngorms National park where we have our own home base at Fraoch Lodge. We offer day hikes and camping trips all year round, and also skills courses if you are not so confident about heading out into the hills on your own. We often combine hiking tours with more cultural activities like visiting a distillery or Loch Ness.

I provide guided journeys through the Cairngorm mountains, helping you to interpret the natural environment and cultural heritage in safety. A day may start amongst the Scots Pine remnants of the once vast Caledonian forest, before climbing a granite mountain shaped by glaciers to reach the wilderness of the vast boulder strewn summit plateau. Or you may prefer to trace the route of one of the historic drove roads which run through the mountains, dissecting the landscape which has inspired generations of artists and writers. On any given day you’re likely to encounter some of the incredible wildlife which inhabit the park, much of it of international significance, and see signs of the social history of the land. I tailor the journey around your objectives. Maybe you want to bag a specific remote munro, seek out the best spots to photograph the magnificent landscapes, or explore sites of historical note.

EverydayClimbing are Scottish mountain experts. Your guides for hiking, rock-climbing, scrambling, winter skills and Munro bagging.
