WalkingWomen is happy to introduce more Scotland walks, offering guests a chance to explore the fantastic Scottish landscape and experience Scotland's authentic Celtic charm, including this walk in the stunning Cairngorms, with evenings spent relaxing in the bustling local town of Aviemore.
The Cairngorms are the largest national park in the UK and are home to 4 of the five highest mountains in the British Isles and the most extensive Caledonian forests. This beautiful landscape offers more high-level mountain ground than elsewhere in Britain and Ireland, though this breathtaking trek may prove challenging for women with mobility concerns.
The gateway into the Cairngorms is Aviemore, a year-round destination with snow sports being the popular winter activity and walking, climbing, biking, and a whole host of other activities the main summer draw. Our hotel will be in the bustling heart of it all, making the surrounding areas easily accessible.
Our walks will give you a unique introduction to the diverse landscapes of the Cairngorms. On our day trip to the Morayshire Coast and through whisky country, the views will change again. In addition, there will be time to sample local food and drinks.
Inspired by the award-winning drama about the love affair between Claire and Jamie, join Trafalgar on a 13-day women’s only holiday and visit some of the notable film locations and other highlights of Scotland, including the Scottish Highlands, Orkney Islands and the Isle of Skye.
Scotland, the Faroe Islands & Iceland: North Atlantic Saga
Navigating in the luxury of the Ocean Endeavour from historic Aberdeen, Scotland to jazzy Reykjavik, Iceland, this North Atlantic Saga adventure offers an intimate introduction to the 18 volcanic Faroe Islands scattered in the sea in between.
The Scottish Highlands are easy to visualize. Misty moors, lush glens, ancient castles and the rapture of folklore (or is it folklore?) surrounding mythic sea creatures. The verdant isles, jagged coastline, shimmering cities and deep lochs are the views that a dram of whisky were designed for!
