| The gently rolling Cairngorm plateaux harbour a wealth of high quality mountain routes amid their steep granite coires. From the easily accessible Northern Corries to the more remote Beinn a’ Bhuird and Creag a’ choire Etchacan, there are some timeless gems of routes at every grade. |
| With a generally sunnier, drier climate than the western hills, the Cairngorms and their surrounding outcrops are a popular choice for sun-seeking climbers in Scotland and the arctic tundra of the high plateau contrasts vividly with the ancient pine forests which surround these mountains offering rich and varied wildlife. |
