We are Scotland's National Outdoor Training Centre. Our role is to 'inspire adventure' by making adventure sports accessible, affordable, safe and fun.

We provide top instructors and equipment for beginners, intermediate and advanced. We are located in the heart of the Cairngorms and are in easy reach of all the best adventure venues in Scotland.

All food, accommodation, instruction, equipment and in course transport is provided as part of the course fee.

The main attractions at the Lodge have always been the magnificent mountains, rivers, forests and lochs of the Scottish Highlands but now, thanks to sportscotland investment, we have great indoor facilities as well.

The lodge offers the widest range of outdoor adventure sports training in Scotland including: scrambling, mountain biking, winter mountaineering, ice climbing, rock climbing, hill walking, skiing and ski-touring, river kayaking, sea kayaking, surf kayaking and open (Canadian) canoeing.

What we do best:

An exciting introduction to the world of white water kayaking. Intensive instruction concentrates on laying down a solid foundation of basic skills covering river-running, the selection of appropriate clothing and equipment, safety and rescue as well as technique. Our location means we have access to some of the best river kayaking venues in Britain. We can use a different river every day which means you will be guaranteed the opportunity to learn and develop in the optimum environment for your level.

Choose from introductory weekends or five day intensive courses. Board and accommodation is included in the course fees with free access to other facilities such as the gym, sauna and climbing wall.
