	Aviemore Travel Guide
		The once-sleepy village of AVIEMORE was first developed as a ski and tourism resort in the mid-1960s and, over the years, it fell victim to profiteering developers with scant regard for the needs of the local community.
		That said, Aviemore is well equipped with services and facilities for visitors to the area and is the most convenient base for the Cairngorms, benefits which for most folk far outweigh its lack of aesthetic appeal.
		Another unusual form of transportation is the Cairngorm funicular railway (every 10-20min; £7.50), which in 2001 replaced the main chair lift as the principal means of transportation to the top of the ski area.
