Area and Location

Glenfeshie Hostel sits in a the stunning Cairngorm National Park, surrounded by some of the most picturesque locations. Not far from Loch Insh, and alongside the River Feshie, it’s a place of true awe. The park itself is the largest in the UK, and covers parts of Aberdeenshire, Moray, Highland, Angus and Perth and Kinross. 

Discover wildlife 

The vast natural space has attracted an array of wildlife, including Golden Eagle, Osprey, Dotterell, Capercaillie, Crested Tit, and several other bird species. It’s also home to pine martens, red squirrels, deer, badgers, wildcats, water vole, and otters. So, be sure to pack your binoculars, because there’s certainly plenty to see.

The River Feshie is an ideal spot for fishing too. These waters are typically full of brown trout and sea trout, with salmon also visiting in the right conditions. 

Climb Munros

There are more than 50 munros to walk in the Cairngorm National Park alone, with Glenfeshie Hostel offering direct access to Sgor Gaoith and Mullach Clach a’Bhlair. Vast forests, fragrant juniper fields and views above the Uath Lochans are just some of the delights you might on your journey to the summit.
