Granite plateaus, corries carved by Ice Age glaciers and wide straths define the Cairngorms, Britain’s largest National Park. Vast, high-level tundra sweeps across the massif, fringed by ancient Caledonian pine forest and cut by passes like the Lairig Ghru.

Five of Scotland’s six highest mountains rise here - Ben Macdui, Braeriach, Cairn Toul, Sgor an Lochain Uaine and Cairn Gorm itself - their summits forming one of the most extensive arctic-alpine landscapes in Europe. The area is a stronghold for wildlife including ptarmigan, golden eagle, red deer and the elusive capercaillie.

A place of challenge and endurance, the Cairngorms host long-distance routes, ultra runs and winter climbing in corries such as Coire an t-Sneachda. Cultural history runs deep in its Gaelic place names, folklore and conservation legacy.
