Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Glenmore?
The best area to stay in Glenmore is around Loch Morlich, particularly near the Glenmore Visitor Centre.

This area is the heart of Glenmore Forest Park, offering direct access to the loch and its sandy beach. It's well-developed for visitors, with the visitor centre providing information and facilities, and several walking and cycling trails starting from here. The road to the Cairn Gorm Mountain ski centre also begins nearby.

Families will find this area particularly suitable. The shallow waters of Loch Morlich are excellent for paddling and water sports, and there are designated play areas and picnic spots. The ease of access to gentle forest walks and the beach makes it simple to keep everyone entertained.

For those looking for a quieter experience with stunning views, consider staying slightly further up the road towards Cairn Gorm Mountain.
When is the best time to go to Glenmore?
The best time to go to Glenmore is during the late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

May and June offer longer daylight hours, generally milder temperatures, and the flora is in full bloom. It's an excellent time for outdoor activities like hiking and cycling, as the trails are typically dry and the midges (small biting insects) are not yet at their peak. This period is ideal for couples or solo travellers looking to explore the natural beauty of the Cairngorms National Park without the busier summer season.

September and October bring stunning autumnal colours to the landscape, creating a beautiful backdrop for walks and drives. The temperatures are still comfortable for outdoor pursuits, and the midges have usually disappeared. This time of year is superb for those who appreciate scenic photography and a more tranquil experience, perhaps enjoying a cosy evening by a fire after a day of exploring.

While July and August offer the warmest temperatures, they are also the busiest months, particularly with families on school holidays, and can see a higher presence of midges.
