Welcome

The Allt Mor Café is the café in the Glenmore Visitor Centre, in Glenmore Forest Park close to Loch Morlich, and since November 2024 it has belonged to the community, bought by the Aviemore and Glenmore Community Trust.

It is a stop before or after a walk, a bike ride, a ski or a run, serving coffee, cake, breakfast rolls, homemade soup and lunches, seven days a week.

The centre is made for people on the move: there is a bike tool station, bike parking and e-bike charging, free Wi-Fi with live bus times, toilets and disabled access, and dogs are welcome inside, with plenty of seating outdoors too. It is six miles by road from Aviemore, or forty-five minutes by bike on the Old Logging Way, and the number 30 bus stops at the foot of the car park. Parts of the forest park stay closed after the wildfire of July 2026. The café opens daily from 9am to 4pm.
