Local Area - To Do - Adventure
For great watersports in Scotland - There's a great choice at nearby Loch Insh. Voted 'Best on the Water' facility in Scotland they offer a range of sailing dinghies, canoes, windsurfers, rowing boats and river trips. They have a host of things to do on dry land as well. Hire a mountain bike and explore quiet roads and miles of forest tracks... Or try your hand at fishing for trout in their stocked lochan for beginners, or on Loch Insh for salmon, the king of fish.
And don't forget a try at archery, a swift slide down the dry ski slope - hopefully in the vertical position and a stroll round the interpretation trail, while the kids have a whale of a time in the adventure play area.
And Loch Morlich, at the foot of the Cairngorm Mountains in the scenic Glenmore Forest Park, is another beautiful location for you to enjoy a wide range of activities - from watersports to walking, mountain biking to fishing. Meet a team of friendly and qualified instructors to teach you whatever your age and skill. Experienced instructors mean the right balance of progress and safety. And for the not so adventurous, watch from the boathouse coffee shop or relax on the beautiful 1km long natural sandy beach. On sunny days, a beach barbeque is run which is available for group lunches at any time.
And for adventure sports in Scotland - Badenoch and Strathspey is one of the definitive areas of Scotland for outdoor pursuits. It's not just Aviemore as an important activity holiday centre - it's the range and breadth of activities on offer in a region dominated by the huge wilderness area of the Cairngorm mountains. Whether it's downhill skiing at Scotland's original skiing area on Cairngorm or canoeing down the River Spey, mountain biking around Rothiemurchus or rock climbing on Craig Dubh, there really is a superb range of activities on offer all year round.
