Help connect Aviemore
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Aviemore’s Slow Ways.

Walked as part of the National Parks Challenge 2026. The earlier review is excellent. The SW gpx was a bit out of whack on occasion but nothing serious....

A beautiful walk along well maintained paths through native Caledonian Forest, with the Strathspey Railway for occasional company on the first section. Good facilities at Boat of Garten at the halfway point, and then a pleasant onward wark to Carrbridge. As a previous reviewer said, some alternative off-road routes on the approach to Carrbridge are readily available and signed....

I walked this route from Aviemore on a warm sunny day and it was a delight. Cycle route 7 leads you west to the main road at Deshar school, where you leave the traffic behind going up the farm lane opposite....
