Aviemore and the surrounding area provides a multitude of activities for all levels.  Listed below is a taster of what you will find: 

Canoeing - Perfect for all occasions, canoes are also an excellent way to get closer to the unique wildlife in the area.  And remember we sit right on the River Spey!

Canyoning - this is not for the faint hearted with pool jumps, natural water flumes and abseiling through water falls this is one of the best adrenaline activities in Scotland and is a popular stag and hen activity.

Climbing - Indoor - Do you want to gain experience before venturing out onto rock, have a taster to see if climbing is for you, or are you just trying to escape the dreaded midgies!!

Climbing: Rock - You have mastered the indoor climbing wall and are now keen to feel the rock? Are you a complete novice but prefer to be outside in the sunshine? With a number of outdoor activitry providers within the National Park you will be spoilt for choice! 

Expeditions - G2 Outdoor will take the logistical hassle out of your expedition. If you give them an outline plan they will organise the rest whether you want to be on foot, on the sea, in a canoe, or on skis. With their extensive knowledge of all areas of Scotland they may even be able to advise you on areas that you had never even considered before.

Gorge Walking - Suitable for younger children and families, where you will be guaranteed to get you laughing and wet without too much technical difficulty or specialist clothing needed. 

Gorge Swimming - This is one up from gorge walking where you are provided with wetsuits, bouyancy aids and helmets. You will find yourself fighting your way upstream, clambering up waterfalls, swimming/paddling through calmer sections and jumping into deep pools! Once you reach the top you just turn round and slide back down to the start and do it all over again! A hugely popular choice with large groups and team building exercises. 

Highland Games - go to VisitScotland website for further details on venues and dates. 

Hill Walking - What more perfect location could you choose? The best of Scotland on foot.

Mountain Biking - On a bike you can cover more ground than on foot but still at a pace slow enough to appreciate the wildlife and surroundings. Alternatively you can contact Jules Fincham at Cyclewild where he can take you over more technical ground where you won't have the chance to look up! Scotland is mountain biking heaven where you will experience some of the most scenic, pleasurable biking in Scotland, or some of the most technical. The possibilities for day trips are endless, with plenty of opportunities for longer, expedition-style trips for those with more time on their hands.  Jules also specialises in coaching for singletrack skills to take your trail riding to the next level of fluidity and control. Difficult singletrack trails will never have been so ride-able!  Also, have a look at Wolftrax in Laggan if you dare! 

Orienteering - A popular choice as part of a multi-activity week. Orienteering can be as short and simple or long and complicated the choice is yours!

With a wide choice of excellent venues wthey will be able to accommodate any age and ability for either day trips or multi-day expeditions.
