Ruthven and Glen Tromie Circuit - 4hrs - Distance: 10.5km
This is not a boring route, mixing the grand ruins of Ruthven Barracks, open heather moorland with a “chill out and relax” feel, the wonderful Glen Tromie and to end the walk through the RSPB reserve overlooking the Insh Marshes.
TERRAIN
Paths all the way; some of the old right of way between Ruthven and Glen Tromie is a little overgrown or boggy; the rest of the walk is on a tarred private road and well-waymarked trails. Two streams near the start could be hard to cross in wet weather.

Meallach Mhor and Croidh-la, Glen Tromie - 8hrs - Distance: 22.75km
Not a really obvious or outstanding hill, Meallach Mhor has a great spot to take advantage of the vista. The fastest approach is along Glen Tromie; the walk shown in more detail on the link makes a fuller day by coming back along the heathery ridge over Croidh-la to take advantage of the views.
TERRAIN
Long tarmac track through glen; hill section is uneven, often pathless heathery slopes.
Follow this link for more details of the walk.

A wonderful walk investigating the fringe of the Insh Marshes RSPB nature reserve with great views and changeable countryside. Bring binoculars for the three bird hides.

Glenmore & Rothiemurchus - Fitness Easy Mountain Biking - 24 miles
One of the many of options available when cycling the paths and trails around the forests of Glenmore & Rothiemurchus at Aviemore.
This route follows the road up the cyclepath at the start, which gets you a good gain in height, but over a long gradual slope so you don’t really notice that you’re climbing all the time.
The Burma Road - Fitness Hard Mountain Biking - 25 miles
This is the classic route around Aviemore. The route is not technical but has a long climb so you must be a well fit. After climbing waiting for us a beautiful view. Click here for the full details
Glen Feshie and Inshriach - Moderate Fitness Mountain Biking - 19 miles
A gentle ride along the road in Glen Feshie followed by a more strenuous ride back through Inshriach. This is the route described in Kenny Wilson’s book. Click here for more details
