Spanning an impressive 1,748 square miles (4,528 square kilometers), Cairngorms National Park is the UK’s largest national park. A popular destination for mountain bikers, nature lovers, sea kayakers, and hikers, the park has been named one of the world’s Last Great Places by National Geographic. It’s the perfect place to enjoy Scotland’s renowned wild landscapes of granite mountains and deep lochs.

One of Scotland’s top ski resorts, Cairngorm Mountain, is located on Cairn Gorm, which is Britain's sixth-highest mountain at 4,084 feet (1,245 meters). As well as skiing and snowboarding down the slopes, visitors to Cairngorm Mountain can ride Scotland’s only funicular railway to Ptarmigan, the UK’s highest restaurant.

Backed by the misty Cairngorms, surrounded by ancient pines, and boasting an award-winning sandy beach, Loch Morlich is a freshwater loch in the heart of Cairngorms National Park. Besides hiking, cycling, and mountain biking trails, there are water sports during the warmer months, including sailing, kayaking, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).
