Badenoch Way Trail

Route Description for Badenoch Way Trail

Featuring several charming lochs, a beautiful woodland setting, and scenic views from atop Farleitter Crag, the Badenoch Way Trail is a fantastic adventure in Cairngorms National Park that the entire family will be able to enjoy.

Setting out from the car park, you will initially follow the track to the southwest as it skirts around the edge of a small loch, before turning to the northwest through the beautiful forest terrain. Eventually, the track will meet up with the Badenoch Way and pass through a clearing to the southwest, climbing uphill before entering back into the dense cover of the wood.

Here, you will head to the southeast to reach Farleitter Crag, a scenic cliffside lookout that offers some fantastic views of the surrounding landscape. Continuing on to the southeast, you will traverse the edge of the crag, before making your way downhill towards Uath Lochan, passing it by on the way to the trailhead where you began.
