    Hiking

    This short, popular path starts at the Cairngorm car park and leads up to the Ptarmigan restaurant where walkers may access the funicular to descend. The path also forms part of longer and circular walks up to Cairngorm and around the Northern Corries.

    Hiking

    While the Windy Ridge Path is more challenging than the main route, it is much less crowded, boasts breathtaking views over Loch Morlich and is surrounded by the lush Rothiemurchus Forest.
