Hotels in Aviemore

Noticing it getting colder this week and even thoughts of snow have driven me to write about the UK's top skiing resort. I think its the only skiing resort (don't quote me).
Aviemore is a town and tourist resort, situated within the Cairngorms National Park in the Highlands of Scotland. It is in the Badenoch and Strathspey committee area, within the Highland council area. Prior to 1890 it was in an exclave of the county of Moray and from 1890 to 1975 it was in the county of Inverness-shire, until the latter date being within the Civil Parish of Duthil and Rothiemurchus.

The town is popular for skiing and other winter sports, and for hill-walking in the Cairngorm Mountains. The main reason for Aviemore's recent development lies in the Cairn Gorm Ski Area, eight miles into the mountains that form the south east skyline for the town.
This certainly helps explain the very large choice of accommodation available, from the large and traditional to the large and modern, and taking in a wide range of littleer hotels, guest houses, B& Bs, hostels and camping and caravan facilities.
The Cairn Gorm ski area has recently seen major developments with the building of the Cairn Gorm Mountain Railway, a replacement for the old chairlifts that promises over time to bring about improvements to the mountain's environment to parallel those taking place in Aviemore itself.



Aviemore also offers plenty of shopping opportunities, many in recently facelifted and refreshed shops. If you are looking for a supermarket you will find one. If you want outdoor or skiing clothing or equipment, you will find plenty to choose from. And you will also find no shortage of shops appealing to passing tourists.
