Nightlife

There is nothing on or near the mountain and the nearest town with any signs of life nearby is Aviemore (about a 30/40 minute drive away).

Accomodation

There is nowhere to stay on the mountain and Huntly is probably the nearest town where there are a few B&Bs on offer, the Huntly Arms hotel will do you a decent B&B from £29 pp (tel 0871 376 9900). You could try the small but well maintained Tomintoul youth hostel, £13.50 for a budget bed (tel 0870 155 2255) or the Gelnavon hotel at £25 pp B&B (tel 01807 580 218). But your best bet is to stay in or around Aviemore (The Lecht is about a 30/40 minute drive away) and at least you will have access to some good restaurants and pubs (see the Aviemore accomodation guide for details).
