Cairn Gorm and the Northern Corries
Cairn Gorm and the Northern Corries
Cairn Gorm itself is the best known and most visited mountain of the range. With a high level car park and extensive ski developments as well as the controversial funicular railway, it can seem somewhat spoiled. This longer approach via Cairn Lochan has terrific rock architecture and superb views, leaving the scarred sections for the return.
