The Cairngorm hills which are placed between Aviemore and Braemar are world famous for its rolling hills and wildlife. Nevertheless, the hills are also known for many classic summer and winter climbs. The Cairngorm plateau is very flat at the top but has many steep cliffs at the sides where some of that climbing is.
The 3 day walking expedition is covering an area of 30-40km in those hills and will have 2 nights of wild camping. At Highland Ascent we provide you with food, lightweight tents and sleeping mats to make the walking easier.
