Top Highlights of the Cairngorms National Park Tour
Tomatin Distillery
Visit this historic Highland distillery and enjoy a guided tasting of their award-winning single malts. The experience includes a behind-the-scenes look at the whisky-making process and the chance to try exclusive bottlings. Booking is recommended for distillery access.
Loch Morlich
A rare blend of forest, beach, and mountain, Loch Morlich sits at the base of the Cairngorms. Take a short walk, sit by the loch, or capture a scenic photo. Snow-covered peaks often frame the view, making it a favourite stop for nature lovers.
Cairngorm Mountain Railway
Ride the funicular railway up to Scotland’s most popular mountain resort. Once at the top, take in panoramic views or follow marked walking trails suitable for all abilities. In winter, the area becomes a snow sports playground.
Lunch in Aviemore
We take a midday break in Aviemore. This lively village is known for its mix of modern cafés and traditional pubs. There are plenty of places to eat, whether you are in the mood for a warm meal or just a quick bite. Local shops also offer a chance to pick up handmade gifts or small souvenirs.
Optional Add-ons to Extend Your Day
