You don’t need to jet off to Lapland for a
winter wonderland, we have some stunning landscapes and scenery right here in
the UK, with many of the best and most picturesque locations found in Scotland.
Don’t believe us? Take a look at some of the
suggestions for fairy tale inspired winter walks from STV News.
You really can find yourself in a veritable
winter wonderland if you know where to look. At the top of the list from the
news provider is the trail around Loch Morlich. This boasts stunning views of
the Cairngorm Mountains, which at this time of the year will more than likely
be dusted with snow.
Another top recommendation is what the news
provider has dubbed the Lord of the Rings walk, as this hike takes in the
impressive peak of Stac Pollaidh.
Cardrona Forest, meanwhile, is a great choice
if you don’t know how far you’ll want to walk, as there are various routes of
differing lengths. In the winter you’ll be hiking through pine forests covered
in snow, it doesn’t get much more picturesque than that.
For something truly breathtaking, make the
trip to the Abriachan Waterfall in the Highlands. You might think that there’s
nothing more impressive than the rushing torrent of a waterfall, but wait until
you see the falls when they’re frozen. It’s really magical.
If you want some guidance about where to go,
take a look at the winter walking tours in the Scotland Highlands that
we offer. We can help you find your perfect fairy tale spot for a hiking trip
this winter.
The Inverness Courier recently highlighted an
event being held in the city to encourage people who are heading out into the
great outdoors this winter to go prepared. Mountaineer Ian Stewart will be
sharing his top tips about how to enjoy the mountains safely at this time of
the year.
