Welcome to Cairngorm Bike & Hike

Our Mountain Bike Hire Centre and Outdoor Equipment Shop in the peaceful village of Boat of Garten is an ideal base for cycling, mountain biking, hill-walking and canoeing in the Cairngorms National Park, with its extensive network of off-road trails and stunning mountain scenery. Close to the bustling ski resort of Aviemore with its all-year-round facilities, Boat of Garten (the osprey village) is the perfect place to unwind and to explore the less-visited areas of this beautiful part of the Scottish Highlands by ‘bike or ‘hike' or by open canoe, with its abundance of hill, forest, river, loch and moor.
