    Tips

    Nestled between Cairn Gorm and Beinn Mheadhoin, Loch Avon is an accessible slice of awe-inspiring wilderness when the high start point at Cairngorm Mountain ski station is used.

    This is Cairngorm scenery at its finest, a gigantic ovular mountainous bowl, where frowning crags gaze down on a sparkling loch. For a wild camp, there’s a small beach. Alternatively, there's the option of the Shelter Stone, a remarkable boulder that's been providing refuge for hikers, climbers and mountaineers for generations.
