Active Outdoor Pursuits open new Active Aviemore centre

Situated just south of the centre of the village, on Grampian Road - Active Aviemore is a café, gallery, outdoor activity bookings centre and retail shop all in one location.

Led by Sophia and Roy Gibson, who manage Active Outdoor Pursuits in Newtonmore, Active Aviemore is an expansion of their business to capitalise on the growing interest in outdoor and adventure activities in the Cairngorms National Park.

The retail shop will be manned by qualified instructors and graduates of Active's instructor training programme who will be on hand to offer expert advice regarding booking activities, safety issues or simply questions on the best outdoor clothing to wear when experiencing the outdoors.

Various activities can be booked at the centre including whitewater rafting, canyoning, duckie canoeing, kayaking, gorge scrambling, climbing and hill-walking. Equipment hire including a range of mountain bikes will be on-site, and during winter months ski and board packages will be available. The new premises will also feature an upstairs cafe and gallery which will offer the finest Scottish produce along with various exhibitions.

Proprietors, Sophia and Roy Gibson said 'Active Aviemore has been a long time in the planning but is filling a very important gap in the market for visitors to be able to drop in and organise all their activities in one place. Our trained instructors are on hand to offer expert advice and the retail shop and café will be a welcome addition to the Cairngorms National Park.'
