Other Activities

Walking

Highland Perthshire is a walker's paradise amidst scenery to die for, with some of the finest mountains, lowland trails, unspoilt roads and paths, mixed walking and designated routes in the British Isles. A wealth of walks for walkers of all abilities, from easy low-level walks and strolls to more difficult mountain scrambles - from a few hours' rambling and gentle walking, to veritable expeditions. Part of the appeal of walking here is the diversity of the seasons. Each has something different to offer as indeed does every day.

Walks to suit everyone, from a one-hour stroll with the kids to a multi-day trek through some of the last wilderness areas of Europe. At all times of the year, some of the most glorious scenery in Scotland can best be enjoyed here, on foot.

Cycling

For centuries, active folk have been sporting about in the fresh air of Perthshire. So it's none too surprising that such modern-day sports as mountain biking in the Highlands or road cycling on intertwining roads have pervaded the heart of Scotland.

Fantastic local trails and beautiful tree lined roads and routes, the colours changing as the seasons. And a superb support structure of cycle and mountain bike hire and accessory shops.

Watersports

With two great local providers, Freespirits and Splash, set your spirit of adventure free with one of our white water rafting excursions or take up the challenge of canyoning, cliff jumping, abseiling and mountain biking.

River running is virtually as old as civilization itself, but rafting and kayaking as recreational activities are relatively new. A river journey is one of the most enjoyable ways to experience the rural areas and natural environments of any country. These pleasures are complimented by an even greater thrill; running through powerful, fast flowing rapids.

Clays

Within easy reach of the hotel are some fabulous clay pigeon shooting opportunities, notably at Atholl Adventures near Pitlochry, Highland Adventure Safaris, Blue Sky Experiences and Loch Tay highland lodges. Most of these centres offer a host of other exciting pursuits too, such as off road driving, falconry, abseiling, rafting and mountain biking.

Archry is also available at Atholl Adventures and BlueSky Experiences, both fairly local. Ask us for details and let us help you arrange.
