ADVENTURE

With a 500 metre long track, the Aviemore Kart Raceway's brand new circuit delivers excitement mixed with fast flowing corners that undulate throughout the length of the course. All of the turns are positively cambered to increase cornering speeds, particularly in wet conditions and designed for maximum speed. The main straight rises briefly, then runs downhill for most of its length to ensure max speed before the tight right-hander at the end.

Maybe one for those with a head for heights, Tree Zone Aviemore certainly delivers a great day out. Start at the TreeZone Fortress, negotiate twelve obstacles of The TreeCreeper up to five metres off the ground. The course is suitable for those aged at least seven years old. Venture out along the fortress gangplank, teeter across the Postman’s Walk, jump across the big gap, fly down the zip wire, wobble over the Indiana Jones bridge and scramble over the mosquito net. So much to try and with no previous experience required it offers a fun adventure.

You don’t have to mountain bike to enjoy Laggan. The route to Dun da Lamh hill fort makes a great walk as well as a cycle ride. It’s one of the best-preserved hill forts in the highlands, with impressive walls and superb views of the countryside around. For mountain bikers, there are routes from easy-going green trail to a black run that’s probably the most technical bit of single-track in Scotland. In the bike park, you can ride big berms and tabletop jumps.
