Walking

walking Both in the immediate area and further afield there is also a whole host of very fine, lower level walks, forest trails and short walks, including the 6-mile Wildcat Trail around the village itself, which can be walked as a complete circuit or in sections, to suit you.

The Badenoch Way runs nearby and is soon to be extended to the village, if all goes according to plan. The spectacular Corrieyairack Pass is just a short drive away and the more challenging Speyside Way starts (or finishes if you prefer) just 20 minutes up the road in Aviemore.

Most accommodation providers are more than happy to provide you with maps, routes and guidance.

Corrieyairack Pass Route

A Walk on the Wild Side.

For a longer cross-country walk, based here in Newtonmore, the Corrieyairack has everything, from the gentle meanderings of the upper River Spey, through the pass itself amid high rolling moorland, and down by the side of Glen Tarff to the A82 near Fort Augustus.

The Badenoch Way

A 16km footpath from Dalraddy to Ruthven near Kingussie, the Badenoch Way winds through native woodland offering magnificent views of Highland glens, mountains, and rivers, with diverse wildlife abundant, including red squirrel, osprey, swans & deer.

Active Outdoor Pursuits

Active Outdoor Pursuits' outdoor centre offers a wide range of outdoor and adventure activities such as skiing, snowboarding, canoeing, white water rafting, kayaking, canyoning, hill walking and more.

The Wildcat Trail

The 10km Wildcat Trail is a wonderful, varied walk in the form of an orbital path right round Newtonmore.

Following its well-maintained paths, you'll walk along the banks of three different rivers, including the Spey, past a superb waterfall, across wild moorland, through native woodlands and through an impressive gorge.
