Snowy Aviemore, Scotland

Aviemore in the Snow, Scotland

If you were to transport a Colorado snow town into Scotland, Aviemore is what you’d get. The Cairngorms might not be the Alps in immensity, but Scotland’s preeminent mountain range is still mighty and impressive, acting as a hub for all things outdoors. It is dual season as well, with fair-weather visitors donning hiking boots while snow-lovers wait anxiously for the flakes to fall before making a beeline for snow boots, skis and Aviemore. If you love to ski and want to stay in the UK, Aviemore and the Cairngorms are the place to go. Downtown, you’ll find shops catering to every element of the Scottish outdoors. Set on a backdrop of snow-capped peaks, the Cairngorms offer hiking, skiing, snow-shoeing, snowboarding, cycling, mountain biking, wild swimming, yoga, paddling, and everything in between. Aviemore is an excellent hub for outdoor lovers. More than just a place to eat and sleep, you’ll spend time with like-minded people, learn about Scottish culture, and, for a short time at least, become part of the adventure-happy community of Aviemore and the Cairngorms.


Top tip: Want the cosy Scottish B&B experience complete with roaring fire, cheery hosts, hearty local breakfast and endless reading material? There are many B&Bs in town, but we love and recommend checking out Ravenscrieg B&B in the centre of town.
