Nethy Stables Glamping - things to do ....
Just admire the beauty .....one of Europe's last great wildernesses.
Or, do something more active .....
SKIING
We are situated equidistant from the Cairngorm Ski Resort (https://www.cairngormmountain....) and the Lecht Ski Resort (https://www.lecht.co.uk/). There can be good cross country skiing locally through the woodland around Nethy Bridge.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
The area is a mountain biker's paradise and there are many World class routes as well as easier routes for those, like us, of a more measured approach. Some World-class routes include:
- Ryvoan Pass. This classic route starts and finishes from Aviemore. ...
- Burma Road. A tougher ride with a steep ascent over the classic Burma Road. ...
- Lochs and Trails of Rothiemurchus. ...

FISHING
There is World famous fly fishing available on the river Spey, the river on which the spey casting style was developed. The salmon fishing requires patience but there is excellent and often overlooked brown trout and sea trout fly fishing. There is some excellent pike fishing available in the Winter.
