As the long Highland days return and summer quietly stretches its limbs, June in Aviemore is a breath of fresh mountain air. Whether you're a seasoned hillwalker, a family seeking fun, or simply craving space to breathe, Aviemore in June is the perfect place to begin your summer adventures.
🥾 Walk Straight from the Doorstep
One of the best things about staying in a self-catering cottage here is just how close you are to nature. From the moment you arrive, trails beckon — winding through ancient Caledonian pine forests, over heather-covered hills, and alongside shimmering lochs.
Top 3 local walks to explore in June:
Loch an Eilein Circuit – A peaceful, family-friendly loop around a stunning loch with a castle on an island.
Craigellachie Nature Reserve – Ideal for a morning ramble, with panoramic views over Aviemore and the Cairngorms.
Rothiemurchus Forest Trails – A labyrinth of shaded paths perfect for spotting red squirrels, roe deer, and early summer wildflowers.
🌼 Tip: June is ideal for wildlife spotting — keep an eye out for ospreys, pine martens, and early butterflies.
🚴 For the Adventurous Spirit
Fancy something a bit more adrenaline-pumping? June marks the start of the outdoor activity season in full swing. From mountain biking to paddleboarding, the Cairngorms offer a natural playground.
Mountain Biking at Glenmore – Rent a bike and hit the trails through forest and glen.
Canoeing or paddleboarding on Loch Morlich – Yes, it’s warm enough!
Guided wildlife safaris – See the Highlands through the eyes of a local expert.
👨👩👧👦 Family Fun for All Ages
Self-catering holidays are perfect for families, and June means fewer crowds and milder weather.
