Mountain Biking
The Cairngorms area has immense scope for either the beginner or fanatical mountain biker. The dramatic landscape surrounding Lagganlia yields a rich assortment of trails from mellow forest tracks to exhilarating downhill trails. Mountain biking is an all weather sport; fun in the sun and invigorating in mud-splattered rain.

Choose a basic guided excursion, hire one of our instructors to help you improve your biking skills or let us put together a custom package to meet your aspirations and ... get on your bike!

Hill Walking
Are you new to the experience and wish to develop your mountain skills or just experience the exhilaration of summiting a mountain, or have you bagged a few but would like us to work alongside you?

At Lagganlia we have the experience and knowledge and are ideally placed for you to get acquainted with the highest of Scotland's mountains (only Ben Nevis in nearby Lochabar is higher at 1344m) with both the Cairngorms and the Monaliadh Mountain Ranges on your doorstep. Summit the friendly Creag Bheag by Kingussie (486m) or if for the more ambitious, give Ben Macdhui (1309m) a try.

There are also exquisite forest walks (Uath Lochan for example) or the spectacular long distance Rothiemurchus to Braemar walk via the Lairig Ghru (with it's resident Yeti - the 'Old Grey Man' ).

Rock Climbing and Abseiling
Develop a passion for climbing with us ... There is a huge variety of climbs to suit any ability near to Lagganlia.

For those new to the sport, there are friendly crags like Kingussie crag and Huntly's cave (described as having 'cracking routes and a stunning finish'). If you have climbing experience and are after more of a challenge, the Cairngorms offer a great variety of easily accessible multi-pitch climbs.

Need a refresher? We have a small indoor wall and there is an excellent, challenging indoor wall at Aviemore to get you ready for that first outdoor pitch!

Why not explore climbs and abseils further afield with us - Ben Nevis is just over an hour's drive away.
