Cycling in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK by kellyhogaboom
Cycling
Cycle your way to your own set of “thunder thighs” with an afternoon of mountain biking. If you don’t have your own set of wheels, not to worry – outfits like Cycle Highlands can get you out of the Granite City and onto the trails.
They even offer special guided packages like the “Secret Singletrack” and “Discover Mountain Biking” to help you along whether you’re a beginner or an old pro.
Mountaineering
Lace up for a challenging hike in the Scottish mountains outside Aberdeen. There’s a number of companies in the area – like Alpha Mountaineering for example – that offer guided walks for all ages year round.
Conquer the summit with an afternoon of hillwalking or scale the mountainside on a rock climbing adventure, the Highlands have plenty of high peaks to oblige you.
Snowsports
Think there’s no snow in Scotland? Think again. You can carve it out on the hills year round without ever worrying about the weather at the Aberdeen Snowsports Centre – this snowflex fun park has everything from rails to moguls for skiers and snowboarders to enjoy.
If you’d rather keep it conventional and feel the wind in your hair, a hotel in Aberdeen can serve as the perfect base for some of Scotland’s best hills come wintertime.
Situated in the Cairgorms, Lecht ski centre is less than two hours from the city centre and boasts some 18 runs for those of us who want to get bundled up in the great outdoors.
Zip Wire
Test your fear of heights and penchant for monkeying around at the Go Ape – Crates Castle. Zip, climb and swing through one of Scotland’s most beautiful forests on your tree top adventure – perfect for a family day out.
This treetop obstacle course isn’t for the faint of heart – at its highest point, the course is 8.6 metres off the ground, and has a Zip Wire some 125 metres long.
Kitesports
Remember when you were a kid and you’d head out to the park on a windy day and watch in awe as it glided around the sky? Maybe not. But either way – kitesports takes adventure sports to the next level. From powerkite to kitebuggy, kiteboard and kitesurf , Synergy kitesports offers courses to help you harness Scotland’s wind power and feel the rush.
