When to go

Glenmore Forest Park offers an abundance of year-round activities, from hiking through ancient forest and kayaking and sailing on Loch Morlich in the spring and summer, to cross-country skiing in the winter. The park, and the surrounding Cairngorms National Park, is one of Scotland’s top outdoor attractions and can get busy during the height of summer. If possible, try planning your trip to avoid visiting during school holidays and on summer weekends.

Know before you go

  • Facilities in the park include a visitor centre, coffeeshop and restrooms. 
  • Small biting midges are a common and persistent summertime nuisance in the Scottish Highlands. It’s a good idea to wear long sleeves and bring insect repellent
  • Public buses traveling between Aviemore and the Cairngorm Mountain Railway pass the visitor center. From Aviemore, Scotrail train services travel to Aberdeen, Glasgow and beyond.
