Lairig Ghru Walking Break
The walking: Join Glentrek on this high level guided route through a wild and remote area of the Cairngorms National Park. Despite being a 'pass between two hills' as the name suggests, it reaches a height of 840m, higher than many Scottish hills.
Towering above the pass are the imposing Cairngorms mountains, with Ben Macdui on the east, at a height of 1,309m it is Scotland's second highest peak, while on the west is Braeriach, the third highest. If this is your first trip to the Cairngorms you won't be disappointed - these mountains are awesome!
