Hiking, Walking
and Hillwalking
Walkers have a wide choice.
There are field, river, moor, wood, forest, hill or mountain walks available in
the surrounding area. You can take a circular walk around Dulnain Bridge, taking
in woods, fields and rivers, all the time with changing views of the hills,
which would take an hour. A whole day walk could take you through the Lairig
Ghru, a gigantic cleft in the Cairngorms, or to one or more of the Munro tops. A
favourite day walk climbs up through the Chalamain Gap which was a glacial
overspill in the last Ice Age. It's quite dry underfoot now, but huge boulders
have been left to clamber over.
In winter and spring, and when the heather
is in flower in August, the hills are particularly beautiful. Scottish law
allows almost 100% freedom to walk anywhere.
Skiing
Skiers can watch (through binoculars!)
others on the slopes from Dulnain Bridge. It's just 35 minutes to the Cairngorm
Ski-fields - Scotland's most comprehensive downhill ski facilities, or The Lecht
skifields are just 30 minutes away.
Cross Country Skiers can take off from the
village when the conditions are right.
Fishing
Fishing for salmon on Private
Beats on the Spey, Avon or Findhorn can usually be arranged, but a cheaper
option is fishing either on the Public Beats on the Spey, or catching trout one
of the many nearby Lochs.
Tuition and equipment hire is also available
locally.
