Just north of Blair Atholl you enter Cairngorms National Park, an area of stark, untamed beauty where meandering burns cut across the base of heather-covered mountains with snow-capped peaks. The scenery change inspires adventure, and hillwalkers and climbers who come to the region find solitude amongst the large scale of the wilderness. The tourist resort of Aviemore acts as a hub for outdoor pursuits, especially in winter, servicing the ski area of the same name. Primitive campsites to caravan parks, glamping and eco-huts abound in the region.
