Cairngorms National Park boasts a truly remarkable landscape of towering mountains, river valleys, tree-lined lakes and secluded mountain villages. Winter snow sports soon give way to mile upon mile of hiking and biking trails, the best ways to truly explore this unique environment. History buffs can visit the sites of vicious Jacobite battles and the grand castles that still dot the landscape today.
