Aviemore Kart Raceway

About Aviemore Kart Raceway

Aviemore Kart Raceway sits at Granish just north of Aviemore, in the middle of the Cairngorms. It is an outdoor circuit built around family visits rather than serious competition, and it has an unusually wide age range — from battery karts for three-year-olds up to 270cc machines for adults.

The Circuit

This is an outdoor track, and the venue does not publish a length, so we have not listed one. What it does publish is the fleet, which is more useful for choosing a session: Kadet 120cc karts for ages 8 to 13, RT-200 200cc karts from 13, RT-270 270cc karts from 17, a tandem 200cc kart for an adult with a child, and battery-powered karts for the youngest visitors.

Who Should Visit

Very few UK circuits genuinely cater from age three, and this one does. The battery karts take children from 3 at £2 a session, the tandem lets an adult take a child from age 4 on track, and the Kadet class opens up at 8 with a minimum height of 130cm.

Sessions run as 10-minute time trials on an arrive-and-drive basis, which suits a family passing through on a Highland holiday rather than committing to a half-day. Group bookings are available for eight or more drivers.

Planning Your Visit

The raceway is at Granish, Aviemore PH22 1QD, just off the A9 and a few minutes north of Aviemore itself.

Prices are refreshingly simple: Kadet £14, RT-200 £16, RT-270 £20 and the tandem £22, each for a 10-minute time trial, with the kiddie karts at £2. The venue is open every day except Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and welcomes groups and families year-round — though as an outdoor Highland circuit it is worth checking conditions before travelling in winter.
