The Northern Corries guided walk is a ‘must do’ when visiting the Aviemore and surrounding area. The Northern Corries make up the North West side of Cairn Gorm, Britain’s 6th highest mountain. A coire (corrie) or cirque is an amphitheatre like, bowl shaped valley formed by glacial erosion and a truly, dramatic landscape to visit 950 metres above sea level.
Our ranger walks offer you the chance to experience the wildness of our mountains with a knowledgeable ranger who will give you a fascinating insight into the Cairngorms environment. Discover amazing facts, see our incredible wildlife and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the mountain. You may even spot some of the Cairngorm Reindeer herd grazing.

Our mountain landscape is beautiful, but you need proper equipment to stay safe. Here’s a list of what you’ll need.
Mountains are beautiful, but can be unpredictable, so we reserve the right to turn away customers who are not suitably dressed and prepared for the conditions or terrain.
“Thank you for an outstanding day. The rangers really do know their stuff. From the history of the mountains, and the geomorphology, flora and fauna! I found it really encouraging to appreciate how the area is currently being managed and the vision for the future. Our small group enjoyed stunning views including looking down on a rainbow! The rangers ensured we walked to a pace that we could all enjoy. Highly recommended! Colin“
Our rangers have extensive knowledge of the land within the Cairngorm Estate and will strive to give you the best experience possible.
“We generally talk about life in the Cairngorms, sharing stories, experiences, facts, history and enjoy engaging in discussion with the group and hearing of their own experiences in the mountains. We always hope to see wildlife such as Red Grouse, Ptarmigan, Ring Ouzel, Mountain Hare, maybe even a wee cheeky Snow Bunting but, as you can imagine, we can’t guarantee it!”
We understand the importance of educating visitors on the Cairngorm Estate. These guided experiences are aimed at building confidence through education on the essential elements of hill walking in the Cairngorms.
These mountains are not ours, but they are our responsibility to look after. By sharing experiences, informing on proper etiquette, and promoting safe practices we can provide visitors with the knowledge and understanding of this beautiful place and encourage them to do some exploring of their own.
Here at Cairngorm Mountain (Scotland) Ltd we take the safety of our staff and customers very seriously. For more details, please see our full Guided Walks terms and conditions below.
Why not make a day of it, we have lots to offer for all ages and abilities.
