Travel with MdM.
About 50km south of Inverness lies The Cairngorms, a granite massif of great beauty that is home to some of the highest peaks in Scotland (Ben Macdur 1,309m; Braeriach 1,295m; Cairn Toul 1,258m; Cairn Gorm 1,245m) and plus 25% of the UK's endangered birds, animals and plants. The
The Cairngorms became a National Park in September 2003, making it the largest region of mountainous arctic landscape in the British Isles. The itinerary runs through the Glenmore Forest Park and allows us to discover the extraordinary natural wealth of this area and its inestimable ecological value, with ancient forests of Scottish red pine, rivers, lakes, valleys and moors that constitute fragile ecosystems.
of great biodiversity.
The highest point is the Pinnacle of the Shepherds, very windy.
The route is simple. The first section runs along a path-track without any difficulty. The landscape is Scots pine.
The second section, corresponding to the ascent to the Pinnacle of the Shepherds, is somewhat steep, but the path is perfectly marked and prepared with large stones in the form of stairs. The vegetation is flowery heather, which smears all the slopes with pink and lilac.
The third section corresponds to the descent, which is smooth. First you go through scrubland and then tall pine forests.
