Location Highlights

Located 11 km from Aviemore and 70 km from Inverness, Pine Marten Bar Glenmore Pods is situated within close proximity to several landmarks. Cairngorm Reindeer Herd is 0.5 km away, Cairngorms National Park is 4 km away, and Meall a' Bhuachaille is 2 km away. Loch Morlich is 0.3 km away, while Loch Morlich Watersports and Glenmore Forest Park are both 0.5 km away. An Lochan Uaine is 3 km away, and Cairngorm Mountain Railway is 4 km from the property. The campus is nestled in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, the largest national park in the UK at 4528 sq km. It is home to four of the five highest mountains in the UK, as well as the largest area of native woodland in Britain. The seldom explored Garbh Choire Mor is home to the classic winter climb Vulcan and the Sphinx snow patch.

Outdoor Activities

Miles and miles of forest trails near the Lodge are suitable for running, biking, hiking and cross country skiing. The campus is surrounded by a ring of nine impressively steep coires, all with enough of a Northerly aspect to collect and hold vast quantities of snow.

Training Center Details

sportscotland Glenmore Lodge, Scotland's National Outdoor Training Centre, aims to offer world class training in outdoor adventure sports and encourage more people to enjoy the outdoors more often. Skills training aims to support all those who wish to take part and develop in outdoor and adventure sport. Instructors can be hired for navigation practice, guided descents of the Spey river, or qualifications.

“The real draw here isn't the basic but clean pods, but the encompassing nature and the on-site bar, a social hub that elevates the experience. I think that the provision of useful amenities like towels, kettle, fridge and microwave add an unexpected comfort. Factor in the friendly staff, and it becomes clear why this place strikes a chord with those exploring the Cairngorms.”

broken sauna
The staff mentioned the sauna was broken. It sounds like it has been broken for years. they really shouldn't advertise the sauna if it's always out of order. Such a tease.

Charmed by Forest Edge Pod Stay

magical locationspacious podfriendly teamdinner access
The location was magical. It had wildlife and a short walk to the loch. The pod felt spacious and comfortable. The heater kept the pod warm even when temperatures dropped well below freezing outside. The loch was partially frozen. All team members I interacted with were friendly and helpful.
The dinner service was difficult to access. The bar was full when we arrived at the stated start time of 5 o'clock. There were no tables available for staying guests who wanted to dine. We had to drive into the nearby town to eat.
Location

The pods have an amazing location near the loch and the edge of the forest. It is a short walk to the loch with wildlife nearby. This is a great location for hiking.
