What is at the other end

Aviemore is the base for the Cairngorms, Britain's largest national park. Winter brings skiing and snowboarding; the rest of the year it is hill walking, the funicular railway and the reindeer herd on the mountainside.

Who travels this route

Winter sports travellers with ski bags, and summer walkers.

What to know before you book

The A9 crosses Drumochter, the highest point on any main road in Britain, and can run under snow gates in winter. We confirm the road the day before.

Frequently asked

How far is Aviemore and the Cairngorms from Edinburgh Airport?

About 130 miles, M90 then A9 north over Drumochter, taking about 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours.

Can you carry skis and boards?

Yes within limits — ski bags are long but flat. Two or three travel fine alongside cases; four sets plus four suitcases generally does not.
