Cairngorm Mountain

Located above the resort town of Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park, Cairngorm Mountain is perhaps Scotlandโ€™s best-known resort.

  • Despite limited capacity with the closure, once again, of the funicular for 2023/24, Cairngorm remains the capital of Scottish snowsports

    Owing to continued mechanical faults in the new funicular system – redeveloped over many years and opened in time for the 2023 summer season – the funicular is once again closed for this winter. Good capacity on the hill remains, however, with one of Scotland’s best developed lift systems. The town of Aviemore is the resortโ€™s base, a short drive or bus ride away. It can be easily reached from Edinburgh or Glasgow by train and there are numerous accommodation options, ranging from campsites and hostels through to traditional hotels. The town has Scotlandโ€™s most โ€œresort-likeโ€ feel and there is also a decent selection of pubs and restaurants.

    As with all Scottish resorts, conditions can at times be unreliable, but on a good day, skiing in Scotland can rival the worldโ€™s best โ€“ and you would certainly be hard pushed to find more spectacular scenery. For this reason stay as flexible as possible and be prepared to drop everything and dash to the mountains when conditions are good!

    Pros and cons

    • Varied slopes ranging from winding greens to steep reds and blacks
    • Stunning scenery in Cairngorms National Park
    • Aviemore is a great base and has a good resort-town feel
    • Very accessible by train or by car from Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow
    • Best beginner slopes can be cold and exposed at the top of the hill
    • Removal of lifts in Coire na Ciste limits terrain for advanced/expert skiers and boarders
    • Access road from Aviemore prone to closure due to drifting snow
    • Limited uphill capacity owing to ongoing problems with the funicular

    On the Slopes

    30km of north-facing slopes are located in two corries โ€“ Coire Cas and Coire na Ciste. The funicular served both, but as this is out of action, surface lifts are required to get to the top. The easiest terrain is in the Ptarmigan and Ciste Bowls at the top of the hill or in the Sheiling area at the base, whilst the toughest terrain can be found in Ciste Gully. There are also excellent touring opportunities on the Cairngorm Plateau and beyond.

    The big snowmaking investment should help ensure adequate snow cover, but from here progression very much relies on the Coire Cas t-bar further up the hill being open. Those that find t-bars difficult will struggle.

    In decent snow, there are some good options for intermediates. The blue rated M2 is a good, winding cruise from the summit and the slopes of the Fiacaill are often underused. If pisted, the White Lady is in the grasp of most intermediates, as is the adjacent M1 Racetrack. In very good conditions, most intermediates should be able to tackle the Ciste Gully.

    The removal of the West Wall and Ciste chairlifts has reduced the offering for advanced and expert skiers and boarders. The long gully runs in Coire na Ciste rely on there being sufficient snow for the West Wall Poma lift and even if complete, there are often huge queues for it. A pair of touring skins will make a big difference to your day here.

    In the Resort

    Most visitors will stay down in the town of Aviemore, a short bus ride or drive below the mountain. It has a good ski resort feel to it and is home to a variety of ski rental shops, pubs and restaurants. Access from Edinburgh and Glasgow is very good, either via the recently upgraded A9 or via the railway โ€“ the station is right in the heart of town.
    We would recommend trying the locally brewed beer from the Cairngorm Brewery or exploring the many whiskey distilleries in Spey Valley โ€“ the river itself runs right past the town of Aviemore.

    For Families

    There is lots of family-friendly accommodation in Aviemore itself, ranging from great-value hostels to family-run B&Bs and from campsites to large hotels. Away from the slopes there is more to do here than at the other Scottish resorts โ€“ there are ample sledging opportunities and you can visit the only reindeer herd in the UK.

    For Aprรจs

    Donโ€™t expect anything like Alpine aprรจs, but Aviemore is home to a good selection of pubs, most of which also serve good local food. Our top picks would be the Winking Owl or the Old Bridge Inn. If youโ€™re really looking for a big night, then you can end your evening in the only nightclub in town โ€“ Vault.

    Getting to Cairngorm Mountain

    Aviemore is very easy to get to by car or by train. The drive up from Aberdeen takes just over two hours, whilst Edinburgh or Glasgow sit around two and a half hours away. From Aberdeen and Edinburgh the train takes a little over three hours but the ride from Glasgow is quicker โ€“ the journey takes around two and three-quarter hours.

    • Aberdeen: 2 hours (driving) or 3 hours (by train)
    • Edinburgh: 2.5 hours (driving) or 3.5 hours (by train)
    • Glasgow: 2.5 hours (driving) or 3 hours (by train)

    Season Dates

    Scotland aims to ski from mid-December until mid-April – conditions are sufficiently varied that resorts often do not provide formal opening and closing dates.
