The Aviemore to Inverness Airport route

This is a short, straightforward transfer on good roads. From Aviemore, the A9 heads north through Carrbridge, over the Slochd summit (400m, the second-highest point on the A9), and down into Inverness. At Inverness, the route follows the A96 east to the airport at Dalcross, about 10 miles from the city centre.

The drive takes around 45 minutes in normal conditions. The A9 between Aviemore and Inverness is mostly dual carriageway and well maintained. The Slochd summit is exposed and can be breezy, but the road is gritted in winter and rarely causes problems.
