Walking - Cairngorm Mountain

Description

Essential Summit Walk

The Summit Walk takes you from the Ptarmigan Station at 3600ft up to the summit of Cairn Gorm where on a fine day you will experience the magnificent 360 degree views over the Strath, the Moray Coast, Lochnagar and the Cairngorm Mountain Range. Your guide will be able to give information on the views, the history and stories of the area, as well as the flora and fauna which lives and survives at this altitude. You might be lucky enough to see Ptarmigan, Dotterel, Snow Bunting, Reindeer or even Eagles on your 90 minute circular route. The Essential Summit Walk operates daily between May and October with two walks at 10.30am and 1.30pm. Please note that customers wishing to take part in the Summit Walk will be required to either purchase a Funicular Railway ticket or make their own way to the Top Station. Please arrive 15 minutes before the start of your walk.

Please note, a small parking charge applies on site - visit https://www.cairngormmountain.co.uk/parking-information/ to find out more.
