The best youth hostels Aviemore

In the shadow of Cain Gorm Mountain and on the edge of Loch Morlich, this second hostel of Hostelling Scotland is truly in the heart of nature, perfect for those seeking the closest proximity to hiking sites. It has a truly alpine atmosphere and many of the regulars return year after year. The hostel has a friendly bar and offers packed lunches for both lunch (handy for picnics!) and dinner.

Surrounded by woods on the edge of Aviemore, this large hostel is fully equipped and has large spaces, with 85 beds in dormitories or private rooms (single, double, quadruple). The laundry room, individual lockers, bicycle room and parking make life easier. The kitchen, the dining room and the two lounges are huge. There is even a billiard table next to the beautiful map of the Cairngorms massif. The property is ideal for exploring the area at a low cost, while taking advantage of the village's pubs and restaurants.
